Lemon Apple Honey Smoothie


Looking for a sweet healthy smoothie to start your day? Well, this one certainly fits the bill. This was very tasty, and sweeter than most smoothies I've tried (that could be because I added just a wee bit more honey than was called for...trust me, you don't need to).

I love how easy and filling smoothies are, and Jesse's become quite the fan of them too, so that's a plus. If it gets him eating more fruit, then I'm all for it! For this I used actual squeezed lemon juice. I asked the guy working in the produce section if there was much of a difference between real lemon juice and the stuff you can buy in the little lemon container (which is what I was gonna use). He said he can taste a difference and recommended I stick with real lemons. If you decide to try it with the packaged lemon juice, let me know what you think...I'm curious!
