Strawberry and Blood Orange Smoothie
2 servings (about 2 cups)
This dairy-free smoothie recipe pairs luscious strawberries with refreshing blood orange juice. Strawberries are packed with vitamins and flavonoids such as fisetin. Early research suggests that fisetin may help control common complications of diabetes and boost memory and cognition. Blood orange juice gets its red color from anthocyanins, plant pigments that have strong antioxidant and anti-cancer properties.
Ingredients
- 185 g strawberries (about 15 berries)
- ¾ cup blood orange juice
- 2 teaspoons flaxseed oil
- ½ cup crushed ice
Directions
- Blend the strawberries, blood orange juice, and flaxseed oil in a blender or food processor until smooth.
- Add the crushed ice and blend again.
- Pour into into small glasses, and serve with eco-straws that are good both for you and the environment.
