Taste
Zesty and bright with sweet orange, sharp lime, creamy banana and a cool mint note.
About this smoothie
This is a citrus smoothie with a creamy twist. Freshly squeezed orange juice provides sweetness and plenty of flavour, lime adds a sharper, aromatic acidity, and both citrus fruits are known for their vitamin C. The banana turns the juices into a smoothie with body, and fresh mint cools the finish.
It is dairy free and quick to make, a good wake-up glass for breakfast or a refreshing drink on a hot afternoon.
Bartender tips
Roll the citrus fruits firmly on the worktop before squeezing to get more juice.
A frozen banana makes the smoothie colder and thicker.
Variations
Tropical version
Add 80 g mango for a sweeter, more tropical citrus smoothie.
Frequently asked questions

Is this smoothie vegan?
Yes, it contains only fruit, mint and water.
Can I make it without banana?
