Citrus Squeeze Smoothie

good morning!

This Sunset magazine has been splayed out on my kitchen counter over the past few weeks…tempting me.

Today was the day that I bowed down and gave in.

a year of living well

I’ve heard soo many people coughing these days that I figured it’s time to get my immunity boost!

Reading that there was a frozen banana in the mix had me sold. Orange banana smoothies are by far my favorite combo.

I already had a huge mess in the kitchen to clean up, what’s a little more?

So get your ingredients ready-

Juice those oranges!!!  I used satsumas cuz that’s what I had.

Get your frozen banana ready, and toss it into the blender. Freeze one the night before!

Add the juices and honey into the blender.

Follow that with a nice big scoop of Greek yogurt. You are almost there.

Pour the smoothie into a large glass…or two small ones…

pouring it in

And you have yourself a creamy & zingy smoothie.

That’s right baby, look at that froth!

You won’t be disappointed.  The taste is fab!  It’s quite refreshing.  And the tartness of the citrus and yogurt is a heavenly match with that little bit of honey and banana.  I am smitten. And hopefully I will be immune to those germs….
