zest and fruit from 1 medium lemon
# Step-by-Step Directions:
01 -
Grab a small grater and run the lemon along it until you get the zest. Dump that in the blender.
02 -
Cut off the peel and all that white stuff from your lemon, keeping just the juicy inside. Drop the fruit bits in the blender. Ditch the rest.
03 -
Add in the lemon flesh, salt, turmeric, coconut milk, date, pecans, apple cider vinegar, chickpeas, and frozen mango into your blender.
04 -
Let your blender rip until everything's velvety. If it's too chunky, pour in extra coconut milk or water and blitz again until it’s perfect.
05 -
Give it a quick taste. Want it sweeter? Add some maple syrup and buzz again. Pour it into your glass and enjoy right now.
