Start Your Morning Off Right

Start Your Morning Morning Off Right With This Blood Orange Smoothie Recipe

Blood Orange and Banana Smoothies are such a great way to start off your mornings! The pretty pop of color will keep moods high, and the Vitamin C can help shorten the length of time you suffer from an inevitable cold. Blood oranges are closer to red than orange on the inside, and it’s those darker pigments that make them higher in antioxidants than regular oranges. 

Blood oranges range in color on the inside from pinkish to ruby red to, well, blood red. On the outside, the skin has a bit of a maroon-ish hue. As far as flavor goes, you won’t mistake these for something other than oranges.
