- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk or any plant-based milk
- 2 tbsp elderflower syrup ensure it's non-alcoholic

Notes
Storage: Best consumed fresh. If storing, keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours; shake well before serving as separation may occur. Make-Ahead: Prepare the smoothie base (all ingredients except ice) and store in the refrigerator for up to 12 hours. Blend with ice just before serving. Substitutions: Use coconut yogurt for a dairy-free option. Replace elderflower syrup with a splash of elderflower liqueur (non-alcoholic version) or omit for a simpler lemon berry smoothie. Serving Suggestions: Top with chia seeds or a sprinkle of granola for added texture. Serve as a light dessert or post-workout drink.
