Zesty and bright with sweet orange, sharp lime, creamy banana and a cool mint note.
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.
