[RECIPE] Slim Down Smoothie #1 – Sally’s Orange Sunshine

Sunshine Smoothie


I was looking for a fast healthy pick-me-up this morning when I came across this orange sunshine smoothie from Sally at sallysbakingaddiction.com. And it fits the bill perfectly! You won’t believe how simple & quick it is – just using fruits and a splash of OJ.

Feeling lethargic and run down? Well, you are 5 minutes away from feeling a lot better. Vitamin C has never tasted sooooo good! Bright citrus flavors paired with creamy banana, sweet mango, and a splash of orange juice.

Sally says ...

This shockingly simple smoothie will make you feel like your dippin’ your toes in the sand listening to the ocean.

Check out the recipe below and let me know what you think.

Here’s Sally’s secret ...

The frozen banana makes the healthiest, purist, creamiest base for a super thick smoothie. In fact, I often eat a giant bowl of blended frozen “banana whip” (just 2 frozen bananas cut into chunks then blended with a touch of milk) and sprinkled mini chocolate chips on top. Mind-blowing good. Try it!

Without a doubt, frozen bananas are my secret weapon when it comes to creamy smoothies. And no one will be any the wiser! “Is there ice cream in this?” Kevin asked when he tried a sip of today’s smoothie. Ha!

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.

This creamy smoothie tastes like a tropical mango-pineapple version of an orange julius. Enough said! So go ahead, put your feet up and dream of warm sunny days with a citrus bursting smoothie in hand. Makes the gloomy rain and snow outside seem much more tolerable!


Recipe: Sunshine Smoothie

Ingredients (Serves 2)

Sunshine Smoothie
  • 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

 

Tips & Options:

  • Instead of two oranges, try 1 orange and 1 grapefruit.

  • I 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.

Unraveling the Mystery of Chunky Smoothies: Tips for Smooth Blends!

Update Why Smoothies Sometimes Get ChunkyHave you ever blended up what should be a delicious smoothie only to find it has an unexpected chunky texture? This common issue often has simple solutions that can transform your drink into the creamy goodness you crave. Let’s explore the factors contributing to smoothie chunkiness and how to create the perfect blend.Understanding the IngredientsMany smoothie enthusiasts face challenges with texture, and these can often be traced back to the choice of ingredients. For instance, using overripe bananas may add some creaminess but risk chunkiness if they're not blended properly. On the other hand, frozen fruits, especially bananas, are known to be a smoothie MVP! They add creaminess without compromising texture, making it easier for your blender to create that silken finish.The Right Blending Techniques MatterExpert tips emphasize the importance of blending order. Always start with your liquid base, whether that's milk or a juice, followed by leafy greens like spinach, and finally, add frozen items. This approach helps your blender work its magic without overloading it with harder ingredients right from the start. Using a high-speed blender? Great! But if you have a regular one, adjusting your blending speed can also help achieve a smoother texture.Common Smoothie Challenges and FixesHere are a few common issues and their quick fixes for your blending frustrations:Too Watery: Add more frozen fruit or a thickening agent like yogurt or nut butter.Too Gritty: If seeds or powders are giving your smoothie an unpleasant texture, consider straining it for a silkier finish.Overly Foamy: Low-speed blending for a bit longer can help reduce foam and improve the texture.Get Creative with Flavor CombinationsDon’t hesitate to play with flavor! If your smoothie is lacking that wow factor, consider adding a pinch of salt or a splash of lemon juice to enhance the flavors. Incorporate spices like cinnamon or nutmeg for a warm twist, or pack in some superfoods to boost nutritional benefits without losing texture.Let’s Get Blending!Crafting the perfect smoothie is about understanding the balance of ingredients and technique. Your smoothies can be creamy and delicious with just a little extra care. Mix up your ingredients and blending order, and don’t be afraid to experiment until you find your ideal combination. Now it’s time to get blending! What are your favorite ingredients to toss into the blender?
