Orange Smoothie Recipe {2 Servings of Fruit}

I've been into smoothies lately, pinning away recipes on a smoothie Pinterest board. Since I have a beautiful bowl of oranges that are not the sweetest to eat on their own, I decided to whip up an orange smoothie with them.


Orange Banana Smoothie 

{1 serving}

1 orange, sliced
1 banana
1/2 c. Trop 50 orange juice
1/4 c. plain Greek yogurt
1/2 crushed ice cubes or 2 whole cubes
1 packet of sweetener

Blend until smooth & enjoy!

You could probably leave out the sweetener but I wanted a tasty treat. I put the ingredients into my Lose It! calorie counter app on my iPhone (also available for online use) and here's the nutritional breakdown:

Seven grams of protein will definitely provide some energy! Lots of sugar, but at least it's from the fruit and not added.

Enjoy!
