This orange smoothie is a perfect refreshing mid-day snack and good for on-the-go breakfast.

Benefits of consuming smoothies for breakfast

It is said that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Hence, the proper balance of nutrition intake at the start of the day is crucial. Smoothies help in fulfilling our nutrition intake in the morning thereby helping us reach our satiety. This in turn helps us make right choices of food throughout the day.

Almost every weekend we start our day with fresh orange juice pancakes.

Health benefits of oranges

Its packed with vitamin C which improves immunity. Due to its high fiber content oranges help improved digestion. They also reduce blood pressure and may reduce kidney stones also. This zesty citrus fruit also help improves brain function.

Often times, orange juice is the most wanted morning beverage. Kids definitely love it. But when I served my homemade creamy smoothie made with oranges, my family instantly loved it.

I love its fresh and citrus flavor. Hence, I delightfully, bake my vegan orange drizzle cake as our dessert.

For savory dinner, I often make my orange sauce tofu.

Often times, I crave for cauliflower orange chicken.

Therefore, I love to be creative with oranges and try to come up with various recipes. This time, I simply decided to blend this easy orange smoothie.

Ingredients notes

Oranges – I used small California mandarin oranges (cuties) because I find them perfectly sweet and zesty.

Mangoes – Fresh or frozen mangoes can be used in this recipe.

Carrots – I used baby carrots for convenience. You may use regular carrots as well. so 1 large regular carrot will work fine in this orange breakfast smoothie.

Dates – I added dates so as to maintain the citrus flavor and the beautiful tint of this smoothie. I felt banana overpowered other flavors and so dates worked better for us. However, you may use banana instead of dates in this fresh orange smoothie if desired.

Chia seeds – I added this superfood in it for protein and healthy fats.

Hempseeds – This adds more protein and fiber making this recipe healthy and nutritious.

Almond milk – Any dairy free milk works in this healthy orange smoothie.

Variations

You can be creative with this smoothie since its homemade.

Ginger: Grate 1/8 inch fresh root ginger in the blender for better digestion.
Pineapple: Instead of mango you can add fresh or frozen pineapple chunks for a more tangy flavor in this recipe.
Date syrup: Instead of whole dates you can add 1-2 tbsp of date syrup to it.

Expert tips

  • It is important to peel the skin of oranges. If you add whole orange, this smoothie will taste a bit tart. Also, roughly remove the extra pulp without stressing too much.
  • Make sure to use high speed blender for this smoothie. It is important to remember that blending might take up to 2 minutes so do not rush through it.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How long does it last?

Since it is made from fresh fruits and veggies, this smoothie is best served immediately. If kept for longer it loses its taste and texture.

Can I use orange juice instead of fresh oranges?

My family personally liked the taste of this smoothie with fresh oranges. Hence, I recommend using fresh oranges instead of orange juice because you might need to add more dates or other sweetener to it.

How can I make this smoothie more creamy?

To make it extra creamy you may blend 2 tbsp cashew nuts along with other ingredients.
