Blueberry Orange Smoothie

This delectible breakfast originated from researching things which I did not think would go together.  I was so wrong.  We had some oranges and bananas in the fridge, as well as some frozen blueberries.  I wanted to make smoothie breakfast, but was 100% sure that would be a terrible combination.  So I googled orange and blueberry and was so surprised to find out that this is actually a reasonably common flavour combination.  Not just in smoothies, but in a variety of contexts.  Colour me confused on a Saturday morning.  So I decided to change confused into curious and give it a go.  Now its your turn.

Ingredients

Serves 2

• 1 medium banana
• 1 orange, peeled and quatered
• 1/2 cup frozen blueberries
• 1 cup almond milk
• 1 scoop unflavoured protein powder (vanilla works too)
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 cup ice

Potential Spins

Add some natural or greek yogurt, top with some zested orange peel, add any healthy mixes you have lying around, or add spinach for a bit of extra healthy boost. Use two serves of protein powder (one each) if you are on a high protein diet.  Add a tbs of oats to increase satiety.

Method

1. Add ingredients to your blender
2. Blitz! 
3. Pour into two glasses.
4. Sit back, relax and enjoy :)

Our Take Aways

Definitely making this again.  We had it for the first time last weekend, then replicated it every morning this week!
