Recipe Directions
- 1. Throw all raw lemonade smoothie ingredients in blender and blend away until smooth!
The Rawtarian's Thoughts
By The Rawtarian Raw lemonade smoothies are refreshing during the summer. There's something very cooling about that tart, tangy taste.
The color of this raw lemonade smoothie doesn't look very lemony due to the darkness of the dates, but the taste will be lemony-zingy!
I just love lemon-flavoured raw food recipes, like these raw lemon cookies.
Remember that you should always put the softest ingredients, such as bananas, in first. That way they're close to the blender's blade and make it easier to blend.
If you don't have a high-speed blender (such as a VitaMix) I might leave out the celery because celery is kind of stringy if not blended well. Also, if you don't have a high-speed blender make sure your dates are soft. If you have really hard dates, soak them in warmish water for half-an-hour or so.
Tip: If you don't have celery, try adding a handful of fresh parsley instead!
Enjoy!

Do you use the whole lemon seeds and all ( not all of the skin, just some)?
Thinking I'll have to give this a try given all the great reviews :)

Hi Kelly, I use a knife to cut off all of the lemon peel.

Raw lemonade smoothie
This was delicious but heed the warning about serving size! I tried to double it and it was so tart!! But when you make it with the regular portions, it’s perfect. Wonderful to start the morning with!

This was perfect and yeilded about 2 cups. Perfect not too sweet and very refreshing. I’ve enjoyed making your recipes and I’m so amazed at how great things taste every time.

In this recipe, you can try adding a little bit of stevia instead for sweetness.

Raw lemonade smoothie
I love this smoothie! It is perfect for summer. I had some strawberries so I added 1/2 cup and only used 2 dates so it would not be too sweet.

Is there a substitute for the banana? I have many allergies. And some of the allergies are preservatives in store bought and prepared foods. Which is one reason for choosing the raw diet. However, I am allergic to some of the fruits, vegies and nuts. Thank you.

Maybe two peaches instead, plus something else for creaminess, like some cashews, or coconut milk, or avocado, or...? Some ideas for you to run with :)

The banana adds creaminess and sweetness. The flavor will change a bit if you substitute something for the banana but here are some suggestions:
Raw coconut or almond yogurt
Cashews
Avocado
Or you could just add another type of fruit. It won't be creamy but should be okay. I added strawberries to mine. You may need to adjust the sweetener depending upon what you use. You could also soak some chia seeds in the 1 cup of water before you make it.
