“Delicious dessert drink … I added some grated ginger to spice things up a bit and it was perfect!”

Lemon Meringue, a popular BlendJet smoothie recipe, is a delightful twist on the classic dessert, transforming its essence into a refreshing, creamy drink. With the tangy zest of lemon and lemon juice, the smooth, rich texture of Greek yogurt, and the sweet, airy touch of marshmallow fluff, all blended with a splash of milk, this smoothie is a perfect balance of tart and sweet. It’s like sipping on a slice of lemon meringue pie, but in a form that’s both nourishing and invigorating. Ideal for a sunny morning breakfast or a light, uplifting afternoon snack, this smoothie is a crowd-pleaser that’s sure to brighten your day.

Lemons are packed with vitamin C, essential for immune system support and skin health, and have been known for their detoxifying properties. Greek yogurt is a fantastic source of protein and probiotics, which aid in muscle repair and support gut health. The addition of milk provides calcium and vitamin D, crucial for bone health. While marshmallow fluff is more about indulgence, when used sparingly, it can add joy without significantly impacting the nutritional value of this delightful smoothie.

Equipment Needed

BlendJet Smoothie Making Tools
BlendJet Smoothie Making Tools

A standard blender is all that is required to make BlendJet smoothies. If you are making a smoothie for just one person, we recommend using the amazingly portable BlendJet 2 as as it is quick to set up and very easy to clean. 

If you are making them for more than one person, we recommend a higher-end Vitamix blender that can process larger loads more efficiently.

For overnight storage, we recommend using a glass or BPA-free airtight container with a resealable lid.


How To Make The Lemon Meringue Smoothie

The BlendJet Lemon Meringue smoothie is very easy to make:

  • Step 1: Place lemon, lemon juice, Greek yogurt, milk, and marshmallow fluff into a BlendJet blender and secure the lid.
  • Step 2: Start the blender on its lowest speed and steadily ramp up to its highest speed. This will reduce wear and tear on the motor and blades, facilitate a more consistent blend, and help prevent food splatter onto the lid and sides.
  • Step 3: Blend for approximately 30 seconds or until a smooth consistency is achieved.
  • Step 4: Pour into a glass for immediate refreshment or place in the refrigerator in an airtight container to enjoy later.

Recipe Tips And Substitutions

For a dairy-free version, almond or coconut milk can replace cow’s milk, and a dairy-free yogurt alternative can take the place of Greek yogurt.

If you’re looking to reduce the sugar content or prefer a more natural sweetener, a drizzle of honey or agave nectar can substitute for marshmallow fluff.

To add an extra boost of nutrition, consider blending in a scoop of vanilla protein powder or a tablespoon of chia seeds for added protein and omega-3 fatty acids, which can enhance the smoothie’s health benefits without compromising its delicious lemon meringue flavor.

Smoothie Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use bottled lemon juice instead of fresh in this smoothie?

Yes, you can use bottled lemon juice in place of fresh if that’s what you have on hand. However, fresh lemon juice is preferred for its brighter, more vibrant flavor, and it contains no added preservatives found in some bottled versions. If using bottled, try to choose a brand that’s 100% lemon juice without any added sugars or artificial ingredients to keep your smoothie as wholesome as possible.

What can I use instead of marshmallow fluff for a healthier option?

If you’re looking for a healthier alternative to marshmallow fluff, a dollop of honey or agave nectar can provide natural sweetness while keeping the smoothie more health-conscious. Another option is to blend in a ripe banana, which will add natural sweetness and creaminess, complementing the tangy lemon flavor while boosting the smoothie’s nutritional profile with additional fiber and potassium.
