This raspberry and lemon smoothie is packed with fiber and protein to help you feel satisfied all morning long.
Today’s Raspberry Lemon Zest Smoothie is loaded with flavor and packs in a whopping 25 grams of fiber from whole food sources. That’s more than what most people eat in a day. I developed this smoothie to use natural sources of fiber (no fiber supplements here!). Basil seeds have double the fiber of chia seeds and raspberries come in at 8 grams of fiber per cup. Using cacao nibs as the topping adds a whopping 4.5 grams of fiber to this meal.
The huge boost of fiber is an excellent resource to support phase 3 liver detox ~ which can be quite useful after the holiday sugary indulgences!
Because the fiber content is so high, this smoothie is a bit thicker than my usual recipes. So if you like it on the thinner side, try adding an extra few ounces of liquid.
Storing and Meal Prep
Blend this smoothie the night before and store in a sealed glass container in the fridge. When you’re ready to drink it, just pull it out and give the smoothie a quick shake!
