Beef Free Sparkling Lemonade Berry Smoothie
Bright, fruity, and fizzy, this blended drink is the kind of thing that makes a regular afternoon feel like a little occasion. Frozen strawberries and blueberries give it a deep, jewel-toned color and a naturally sweet berry flavor, while fresh lemon juice cuts through with just the right amount of tartness. Maple syrup rounds everything out without any refined sugar, and the slow pour of chilled sparkling water at the end keeps things wonderfully effervescent. The technique of pouring the sparkling water down the side of the glass is a small but satisfying detail that makes the final result feel genuinely special. It comes together in just a couple of minutes with a blender and a handful of simple, plant-based ingredients — no animal products anywhere in sight, which means it fits naturally into a wide range of eating styles. Serve it with a lemon slice on the rim and it looks almost too pretty to drink. Almost.
