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 :)

Raw lemonade smoothie
5
5 out of 5

I am the lemonade Queen of my family! Lately I still make it for family events but haven’t been drinking it because I’m limiting added sugar. This was a delicious start to my 7 day meal plan! I am forever grateful for all of the information you share about eating raw. Ready for my lunch smoothie. Thanks, Nicole

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!
