There are many borderline magical flavor combinations in the world, and in my option, lemon and coconut easily earn their spot on that best-of list. This creamy blend tastes almost like a cheesecake, and thanks to its balance of quality protein, greens, minerals, and healthy fats, you’ll find this smoothie makes an energizing meal replacement.
