Raw orange smoothie recipe

2 medium bananas

2 medium oranges

1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice (or water for a less orangy-taste)

1 tablespoon fresh orange zest

1 tablespoon coconut oil

Directions

1. Get your orange zest off an orange before you peel it. The easiest way to get fresh orange zest is to simply use a clean orange peeler to shave a bit of orange peel off. Collect 1 tbsp's worth.

2. Peel your oranges well using a knife. Cut off most of the white rind so that you just have nice, glistening oranges with very little white rind left.

3. Add all ingredients to your high-speed blender.

4. Blend well.

5. Enjoy your raw orange smoothie!

The Rawtarian's Thoughts

Raw orange smoothie recipe - I was craving a creamy orange smoothie today for some reason. Not sure why! So I put my thinking cap on about what would make this smoothie burst with orange flavour - while at the same time being super smooth and creamy. And here's what I came up with!

It's very easy to make, and the consistency is super creamy and orangy. Note: This is best made with a high-speed blender since oranges can be difficult to get to a smooth consistency in a standard blender due to their fibrous consistency.
