This Lemon Berry Smoothie is a refreshing and nutritious drink that combines the tangy taste of lemon with the sweet flavor of blueberries. Perfect for any time of day, this smoothie is not only delicious but also packed with antioxidants and vitamins. Follow these simple steps to create the perfect blend.

Ingredients:

1 cup frozen blueberries
160g
1/4 tsp cardamom
1/2g
2 tbsp lemon juice
30g
1/4 tsp cinnamon
0.65g
1/4 tsp red pepper (spice)
0.45g
1 cup water
240g

Instructions:

1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients. Make sure the blueberries are frozen for a thick, chilled smoothie.
2. Add Blueberries to Blender: Pour 1 cup of frozen blueberries into your blender.
3. Add Spices:
- Sprinkle in 1/4 teaspoon of cardamom.
- Add 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon.
- Sprinkle in 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper. Note: Feel free to adjust the amount of red pepper based on your preference for spiciness.
4. Add Liquid Ingredients:
- Pour in 2 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice.
- Add 1 cup of water to the blender.
5. Blend Until Smooth: Place the lid on the blender and blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and all ingredients are well incorporated. This usually takes about 1-2 minutes.
6. Check Consistency: If the smoothie is too thick for your liking, you can add a little more water and blend again until you reach your desired consistency.
7. Taste and Adjust: Taste the smoothie and adjust any seasonings if necessary (e.g., more lemon juice for extra tang or a pinch more of red pepper for additional spice).
8. Serve Immediately: Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy immediately for the best texture and flavor.
9. Optional Garnish: You can garnish with a few fresh blueberries or a lemon slice on the rim of the glass for a decorative touch.

Tips:

- For an extra creamy texture, consider adding a half banana or a scoop of Greek yogurt.

- If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, add a teaspoon of honey or a couple of dates.

- To enhance the nutritional value, you can add a handful of spinach or kale.

- For a tropical twist, substitute half of the water with coconut water.
