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!

Did you use anything instead of the dates? The dates make it sweeter...

Raw lemonade smoothie
I cut the dates to 1/4 of a cup but I think next time I'll just use a few less dates . I try & watch my sugars but I loved this recipe .

Hi, I'm using this app in NZ and am wondering if there is a winter plan us Southern Hemisphere users can switch the recipes to? A lot of these ingredients are out of season.

Hi Tracey! Try a different meal plan - there are tons in the app. They aren't all based on summer :)

Raw lemonade smoothie
Hi goodspear here,
Made the lemonade smoothie and I enjoyed it. It was a mild flavor and easy to drink. I stuck mine in the freezer to make it extra cold cause that how I like them. Anyway I complete this for the course to prepare for raw eating. I'm going to make the
raw brownies tomorrow or saturday. Let you know how they turn out. Good day to all and God bless.

Hi Sarah,
There's no easy way to double it in the app, sorry about that! But you'd probably be safe just doubling everything for 3-4 ppl

What can i use instead of bananas?

Hi Fatima, How come no bananas? It is integral to this recipe because it provides both sweetness and creaminess. Maybe best to try a different recipe :)

Raw lemonade smoothie
I'm not a banana smoothie person, but this was really really good! I used frozen banana because I like smoothies chill (and I keep loads of frozen bananas for vitamix ice cream). Very happy I tried, it's another keeper!

Hi Chrissi,
So glad you liked! I hear you about the banana smoothies, I like them but my husband prefers banana-free smoothies because he feels they have too much of an empowering taste
