Refreshing Lemon-Blueberry Smoothie

It all started on a sweltering Tuesday afternoon when the heat made everything feel unbearable and my skin stuck to the couch while even my thoughts moved slowly. I opened the fridge and stared at the usual suspects such as banan, a lemon as well as a lot handful of blueberries so mixed smoothie is readily.

I threw them in the blender then I added some ginger “I prefer it, but it is only an extra” on a whim since I thought “why not” and I splashed in a bit of almond milk before pressing blend with my fingers crossed.

The result was magic because it turned out bright, zingy and somehow soothing all at once which felt.Have you ever tried something new simply because you had no better options Hhhh !! Well, this was one of those little miracles.

Also, just a heads-up—the smoothie is tangy in fact it’s the kind of tangy where lemon kisses your tongue yet in the best possible way. If you prefer sweeter flavors then you can add a drizzle in some honey.

So, are you ready to give it a whirl…
