OOH, LA, LA, LA!
This orange, green smoothie inspires me. Let me count the ways…
It’s easy, cleansing to the body, high in fiber and loaded with vitamin C. In other words, it’s pure and simple and just what I need to get me off to Summerland…wait…hold up… pump the brakes…not that Summerland .
Let me be clear. My orange, green smoothie is a dose of ambition, not a concoction to send you on the other side. Yikes! Wayyyy too much reality for a Wednesday morning. LOL!
In LIFE news.
Today is our first day of Summer whoo hoo!! Yesterday was our last day of homeschool, and the kiddos are ready to take the bull by the horns and Mom’s ready to enjoy this cool drink to handle it all.
Drinking this smoothie is like drinking a salad. Freshly squeezed orange juice with a banana, spinach greens, hydrating cucumber AND AND it’s only four ingredients. This is delicious!
I hope you agree! 🙂
- 1½ cups freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1 frozen banana
- 1 cup spinach
- ½ cucumber peeled and sliced
- Place all ingredients into a high-speed blender. Blend for 40-45 seconds until smooth. Serve over ice for added chill. Enjoy!
I wish that straw was a springboard right now.

Hi Tonya, Shirley b from G+ community. Thanks much for this recipe. I was guessing that the green was spinach but just wasn’t sure. And yes, I’ll definitely be trying it out.
I joined the community but am waiting for my new Canon rebel DSLR and hope to start participating with sharing and learning by the end of July. In the meantime, I’m just ogling over the great shots and fabulous foods. I do love your shots. They have great definition.
Have a great Sunday.
