Blueberry Orange Smoothie

It's been a while since I posted a smoothie recipe on my blog. I love smoothies, as they are so easy and quick to put together and a healthy way to kick start the day. You don't really need to measure out the ingredients, just add fruits or vegetables you like with milk or yogurt. Pair with a toast or sandwich to make a filling breakfast.

I had a pack of blueberries and orange lying, so thought to give this combination a try. The smoothie turned out really good with a refreshing flavor. This naturally sweet blueberry orange smoothie is high in antioxidants and vitamin C. One glass of this high fiber smoothie gets you off to a good start in the morning and also meets your daily fruit quota. Also check out this blueberry banana smoothie, another simple and nutritious smoothie.

BLUEBERRY ORANGE SMOOTHIE RECIPE

{ Blueberry smoothie with orange juice and banana-flavored greek yogurt }
Serves 2

---

Ingredients:

1 cup blueberry, fresh or frozen
¾ cup freshly squeezed orange juice (2 oranges)
½ cup banana-flavored low fat greek yogurt
¼ tsp vanilla essence

Method:

Add all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. If the smoothie is too thick, thin it out adding little more orange juice or low-fat milk.

Notes and Tips

• You can also use plain greek yogurt and add 2-3 banana slices to get a light banana flavor.
• Instead of yogurt, you can add ½ cup milk. In this case, add a small banana for thickening the smoothie.
