Citrus Bliss

December 01, 2017 by April Hamilton in In Between

Well hey there, December! You always sneak up on me and this year I'm ready for the most wonderful time of the year. It's easy to get overwhelmed by the lists, the parties, the so many things to do. Let's take this month one day at a time and enjoy the festivities! I'll be sharing simple recipes to feed the soul. I was born in the kitchen and I hope you'll come along for the fun! Fresh citrus is my favorite fuel. It's perfection in this nutritious sipper.

Citrus Bliss 

You hardly need a recipe for this! Fresh citrus makes it sing:)

  • 1 tangerine or orange, peeled and segments separated, seeds removed
  • 1 banana, sliced 
  • 3/4 cup lemon yogurt
  • 3/4 cup fresh tangerine or orange juice
  • 3/4 cup ice cubes

If time permits, freeze the tangerine segments and banana slices (ideally, individually freeze them, then pack in freezer bags for easy access and smoothie bliss). Combine the tangerine, banana, yogurt, and juice in the container of a blender. Mix on low to blend, then increase the speed and drop in the ice. Blend until creamy, dreamy. Pour into 2 glasses and sip away!
