Citrus Explosion Green Smoothie
Wake up your taste buds with a Citrus Explosion Green Smoothie! It's the best way to start the day!
Servings: 2 people
Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon chia seeds (mixed with 3 Tablespoons of water and allowed to gel for a few minutes)
- 1 cup spinach (or other greens)
- ½ c frozen pineapple
- ½ c frozen mango
- 1 small orange, peeled (a clementine/mandarin/Satsuma is great!)
- 1 frozen banana
- 1 small wedge lime (with peel) (equivalent to a teaspoon of lime, see video for visual!)
- 1 c orange juice
Instructions
- Place chia seeds in a small bowl with the water. Allow to sit for a few minutes while you get the other ingredients ready so that the chia seeds soften.
- Place all ingredients into the blender, including the chia gel, and blend. You can add water or ice to thin or thicken the consistency of the smoothie to your preference.
- Enjoy!
Notes
This recipe makes a pretty large amount—maybe 24 ounces of smoothie? I can usually give each of my boys a bit and have enough for myself as well. It should serve 1 hungry adult, 2 regular adults, or 1 adult and a couple of kiddos!
