Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but during a heat wave, making food can be the last thing anyone wants to thing about. This August, take the Limoneira approach to start each day with a refreshing burst of yummy citrus flavor and an influx of vitamins and nutrients. Join Limoneira spokesperson Megan Roosevelt as she brings this and other recipes for delicious summertime treats to the Limoneira YouTube channel all month long.
This is a guest post recipe that is courtesy of Limoneira citrus. Eating veggies isn’t for everybody. Our favorite Limoneira life hack is to take those greens and pack them into a delicious smoothie instead.
Lemon-y Green Smoothie Recipe
1 Limoneira Classic Lemon
1 banana
1 baby cucumber
2 kale leaves (rinsed well)
1 cup ice
Directions: No sense reinventing the wheel! Juice the entire Limoneira lemon, then add all ingredients to a blender. Blend on high for one minute, and the smoothie is yours to enjoy.
In addition to being amazing additives to zest up that daily smoothie, citrus fruits are naturally water dense – meaning simply consuming them is a great way to stay hydrated all summer long.

I love the idea of incorporating vegetables into my smoothies. Thanks for the recipe.
I would likely lovethi, I also am not a kale person, but if it is hidden right I can tolerate it! I think this would also be a great drink if you had a cold due to it being high in vitamin C. The lomon would be a very refreshing taste for sure.
Good ingredients in this smoothie. I make them often and I like this combination.
I would so love to try this smoothie. I really think that I would like all of these ingredients and I need to find other more healthy things to eat for breakfast.
Uhm, no on the kale, lol. I’m more a fruit smoothie person. The veggies are just a no-go for me when it comes to drinks. My Mom loved V8’s but I just refused to even try it, lol. Even though I love tomatoes.
