Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large fresh oranges
- 1 medium frozen banana
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 6 pieces ice cubes
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract (Whole30 compliant)
- 0.5 teaspoon fresh ginger
- 5 leaves fresh mint leaves
Instructions
Peel the oranges and remove as much of the white pith as possible. Divide them into segments and remove any seeds.
Peel the frozen banana and break it into smaller chunks to facilitate blending.
In a blender, combine the orange segments, frozen banana, coconut milk, and ice cubes.
Add the vanilla extract and freshly grated ginger to the blender. For a subtle flavor boost, add a few fresh mint leaves.
Blend the mixture on high speed for about 1-2 minutes until smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick, you can add a bit more coconut milk to reach your desired consistency.
Taste the smoothie and adjust the flavors if necessary. You might want more ginger for spice or an extra mint leaf for freshness.
Pour the smoothie into two glasses, garnish with additional mint leaves if desired, and serve immediately.
