Orange and basil is a pairing chefs know from salads and sorbets. Here a ripe nectarine adds body and a fragrant stone fruit sweetness.
Garnish: Basil leaf · Ice: Served up, no ice
Bright and juicy with sweet orange, fragrant nectarine and a fresh, peppery basil note.
Basil has sweet, slightly peppery and clove-like notes that suit citrus surprisingly well. A few leaves are enough; the aim is a hint of herb, not a salad. Whole oranges supply juice and pulp, the nectarine softens the acidity and adds aroma.
Oranges and nectarines are known to contain vitamin C. The smoothie is light and refreshing and fits a sunny breakfast or a summer afternoon.
Only lightly; it adds a fresh herbal note in the background.
Yes, about 150 ml instead of the whole oranges; the smoothie will be thinner.
Yes, all ingredients are plant based.
