Ingredients

juice of 1 large lemon
1 large lemon zest (grated skin of the full large lemon)
1 large ripe banana
3 pitted dates
1 1/2 cups oat milk/hemp milk
1/4 cup raw cashew nuts
1/8 tsp turmeric powder
2 tbsp hempseeds

Instructions

In a blender combine all the ingredients (banana, dates, milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, turmeric powder, hempseeds).
Blend it extremely smooth until creamy.
Pour in the serving glasses and garnish with more hempseeds and lemon zest and serve immediately.

Notes

Make sure to use ripe banana which has brown spots on its skin. But do not use over-ripe banana as it might not sweeten it properly and make it a bit on the bitter side.
Large lemon is preferred for the nice balanced flavor. Grate its skin for the zest and then juice it thoroughly.
If you plan for smaller lemons then go for 2 small lemons for the zest and juice and then adjust as per taste.
This recipe taste best when served immediately.
You may add crushed ice if you like your cold smoothies.
