Orange & Mint Sunshine Smoothie

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Dishes Drinks
Nicknamed 'Sunshine Smoothie', this drink brings the vibrant energy of oranges. Orange and yogurt are a classic pair evoking 'creamsicle' flavors, but adding mint gives it a grown-up, refreshing twist. We use the orange pulp, not just juice, making it more filling and nutritious.

Instructions

1 ✓

Peel oranges, removing white pith. Separate into segments and remove seeds.

Tip: Keeping fiber slows sugar absorption, so this smoothie won't spike blood sugar as fast as plain juice.
2 ✓

Place orange segments and mint in blender.

Tip: Juicy fruit should go at the bottom, near the blades.
3 ✓

Add yogurt, honey, and almond milk.

Tip: Yogurt acidity and proteins cream the drink.
4 ✓

Add ice and blend until membranes disappear and you have a smooth drink.

Tip: Thorough blending (homogenization) is important for silky texture.
5 ✓

Pour into glasses and garnish with an orange slice.

Tip: Consume immediately; Vitamin C is sensitive to light and air.

Recipe FAQ

Why is it bitter?
The white pith of the orange (albedo) contains bitter compounds. Make sure to remove this thoroughly when peeling, and don't leave seeds in!
Can I replace almond milk?
Works with any milk, but coconut milk gives a tropical, piña colada-like flavor profile.
