Notes
Tip: Adjust the amount of lavender based on your preference, as it can be quite potent. For a twist, try adding a handful of spinach for added nutrients without altering the flavor.
For the best flavor, use unsweetened coconut milk and adjust the lavender extract to your taste preference. If you’re sensitive to the floral taste, start with a small amount and add more as desired.
You can add a handful of spinach for an extra nutrient boost without altering the taste significantly. This smoothie can also be frozen into popsicles for a cool treat on hot days.
Store any leftovers in the fridge for up to 24 hours, but the smoothie is best enjoyed fresh to preserve its vibrant flavors and creamy texture.
