Creamy Brazilian Limonada
This is a thick, smoothie version of the viral drink going around. Yes, it uses whole limes but trust, the rind is edible and it’s going to taste great!
INGREDIENTS
4 sliced, whole limes
1 cup ice
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ can coconut cream
Pinch of allspice
1 scoop unflavored protein powder (optional)
DIRECTIONS
- Slice limes into quarters. TIP: If you want a sweeter version of this smoothie, zest the limes and remove the pith (the white part of the lime) before cutting the pulpy flesh into quarters.
- Add all your ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth.
- Strain the mixture after blending to remove excess pulp (or keep it pulpy if you like it!)
