Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Peel and segment the orange: Remove the peel, pith, and seeds from the orange, then divide it into segments.
- Slice the banana: Peel and cut the banana into slices.
- Place the coconut oil in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in short intervals (about 10-15 seconds) until fully melted. Alternatively, melt it in a small saucepan over low heat.
- In a high-speed blender, add the almond milk, orange segments, banana slices, Greek yogurt, and melted coconut oil.
- Add the ground cinnamon, ground cloves, and ground nutmeg for aromatic spice.
- Add the flaxseed and whey protein powder to boost the smoothie with extra protein and fiber.
- Start blending on a low setting and gradually increase to high. Blend until all the ingredients are fully combined and the smoothie reaches a smooth, creamy consistency.
- Taste the smoothie and adjust the spices or sweetness if necessary. For additional sweetness, you can add a touch of honey or a couple of pitted dates.
- Pour the smoothie into glasses. For an extra touch, you can sprinkle a little more ground cinnamon or flaxseed on top.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious and nutritious orange banana smoothie!
Tips:
- For a thicker smoothie, freeze the banana and orange slices beforehand.
- Ensure the coconut oil is in liquid form to blend smoothly; if solid, gently melt it before adding.
- Adjust the spices according to your taste preference if you want a more pronounced or subtle flavor.
- If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more almond milk until you reach the desired consistency.
- For added nutritional benefits, sprinkle some chia seeds or oats over the top before serving.
Voila! Your Orange Banana Smoothie with coconut oil, flaxseed, and spices is ready to be enjoyed. This creamy, flavorful, and nutritious smoothie is perfect for breakfast, a post-workout snack, or any time you need a quick health boost. Enjoy your sip of wellness!
