artzyfartzy...saw this recipe last nite and the color of the smoothie is what attracted me. It's gorgeous! Couldn't get meyer lemons, but had limes and used the juice. Also, didn't have anymore agave, so used honey. Gave my 5 yr. old grandson a taste and he wanted more. He just slurped it down and so did I...absolutely delicious. Am always using oranges in smoothies, but didn't think of using lemon or lime. It was the color that made me do it...lol!!! Thanks for a great smoothie.

oh, and venti... you could try and leave out the apple next time ?

venti: crunchy? ooh that wouldn't be good!!! I used a vitamix so its super creamy & smooth like pudding almost. and apples actually make smoothies creamer in my vitamix, so I'm just guessing it must be your blender?

I'm drinking it right now....maybe it's my blender but it's...crunchy. I couldn't get the apple smooth enough. Would it work better if I juiced it first, or would that affect the texture?

hippie chick: i just noticed I didn't specify i peeled the lemon.. I just changed that!

hippie chick: do you mean the white part of the peel? I left that on.. but it is a meyer lemon so maybe that's why it wasnt bitter at all?? when you mentioned this I thought maybe next time I'd try adding a bit of orange or lemon zest as well.
