Simple Green Smoothies
Orange Superfood Smoothie
Orange, banana and coconut water make a bright citrus base for this superfood smoothie, with goji berries, hemp hearts, chia seeds and TOCOS plus lime to keep it fresh. You get 10g protein and 10g fiber in one glass.
Ingredients
- 1 orange peeled and seeded
- ½ banana
- ¼ cup coconut water
- 1 tablespoon goji berries
- 1 tablespoon hemp hearts
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon TOCOS soluble rice bran powder
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- ½ cup ice
- 1 serving homemade protein powder optional
Instructions
- Pour the coconut water into a blender. Add the orange, banana, goji berries, hemp hearts, chia seeds, rice bran powder, lime juice and protein powder, if using. Blend until smooth.
- Add the ice and blend again until smooth. Pour into a glass and serve immediately.
Recipe Notes
- Make It Thicker: Use a frozen banana for a thicker, colder smoothie. It helps to freeze bananas ahead so you always have some on hand.
- Add Greens: Blend in up to 1 cup of spinach or another leafy green with the coconut water.
- Ingredient Swaps: If you can't find rice bran powder, use 1 tablespoon pumpkin seeds, almonds or peanut butter instead. Plain water works in place of coconut water.
- Storing: Best fresh. The chia seeds thicken it as it sits, so if you keep it in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours, shake and add a splash of water before drinking.
