1-2 large navel oranges will work in place of mandarins if that’s what you have on hand.

[Recipe 5] – Oatmeal and Citrus Smoothie

This Oatmeal and Citrus Smoothie is a must for those who are fans of citrus parties. Fresh citrus is a reason to love winter. Bright pink grapefruits and intoxicatingly fragrant Meyer lemons are bound to excite your taste buds. It is recommended to use half of a pink grapefruit and a whole orange, but you could certainly use whatever combination of citrus fruits you like/have on hand. Adding toasted oats to a smoothie is a delightful experiment. The oats result in a thicker smoothie and provide a nice little nutritional boost as well. It’s definitely something worth repeating. You can use a bit of oat milk in the recipe. But if you can’t find oat milk, you can use whatever variety of non-dairy milk you prefer.

Recipe: Serves: 1-2

Ingredients:

1/4 cup old-fashioned oats
3/4 cups oat milk (or other non-dairy milk)
1 tablespoon agave nectar
2 tsp. chia seeds
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 peeled and frozen banana, cut into chunks
1 orange, peeled and cut into chunks
1/2 pink grapefruit, peeled and cut into chunks

Directions:

In a small dry skillet, toast the oats over medium-high heat until they become fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
Add the toasted oats, milk, agave nectar, chia seeds and vanilla extract to your blender. Let this sit for about 5 minutes. Then add the banana, orange and grapefruit. Blend on high until smooth. Pour into glasses and serve immediately.

[Recipe 7] – Sunshine Smoothie

This creamy smoothie tastes like a tropical mango-pineapple version of an orange julius. Try this smoothie – Vitamin C has never tasted so good! The frozen banana makes the healthiest, purist, creamiest base for a super thick smoothie. Creamy, fruity citrus smoothie made with orange, mango, banana, and not much else! Play around with the fruits you use. Frozen mango, a little frozen pineapple, and 2 oranges are what I like to use. Have a grapefruit on hand? Use 1 orange + 1 grapefruit instead. Or decrease the mango and increase the pineapple. Go fruit wild.

Ingredients:

1 frozen ripe banana, previously peeled & sliced
1/4 cup orange juice
2 oranges, peeled and sliced
1 cup frozen mango chunks
1/2 cup frozen or fresh pineapple chunks

Directions:

Make sure you have a strong, powerful blender that will blend up the frozen banana and apple. I like this Ninja or this Vitamix.
Blend the frozen banana chunks and orange juice together until thick, creamy, and smooth – about 3 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the blender as needed. Add the oranges, mango, and pineapple. Blend until combined.

Recipe Notes:

Instead of two oranges, try 1 orange and 1 grapefruit.
You may prefer frozen mango chunks over fresh because they lend a creamier texture to the smoothie.
For an added nutritional punch, try adding 1 cup of your favorite greens!

[Recipe 10] – Sunny Citrus Smoothie

This citrus smoothie is wonderfully versatile and is loaded with great citrus flavor. It has the standout flavor of grapefruit, but can be substituted by other citrus fruits depending on what’s in season, such as lime, tangerine, tangelo or blood orange. Delight your family with this nutrition-packed smoothie.

1 orange
1 lemon

3/4 cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt

One at a time, place them on a cutting board and remove all the peel and white pith with a knife, exposing the flesh. Chop the fruits and remove any seeds. Place the fruits into a blender and add half the orange and lemon zest and the remaining ingredients. Blend until smooth and pour into 2 glasses; sprinkle with the remaining zest.
