Valencia Oranges are currently in season. Oranges are great in smoothies because of their liquid content. Oranges are high in Vitamin C. They are also a source of fibre, folate, potassium, and antioxidants. For this reason, we have created a choc-orange smoothie.
In smoothies, oranges can be combined with other fruits like mango, kiwi, pineapple, or strawberries for a refreshing blend. However, oranges are versatile enough to be mixed with banana, yogurt, and protein powder for a creamy and nutritious delight.
Orange is often paired with chocolate. The natural sweet and slightly sour taste of orange combines perfectly with the bitterness of chocolate. We've turned the classic flavour combo into a filling morning smoothie, with coconut kefir for some gut health.
