Notes
Additions and Substitutions
Making this recipe with different fruits that pair with lemon balm is a great way to switch up the flavor. Citrus, berries, peaches, pineapple, mango, and banana all complement lemon balm and would work well in this smoothie.
If you grow lemon basil or lemon balm in your garden, you can cut the leaves, wash them, and put them in an airtight bag to freeze. That way you can enjoy frozen lemon basil in your recipes and smoothies all year long!
Instead of water in this smoothie, you could use any plant-based milk you prefer.
