Blood Orange Sunset Smoothie
Blood Orange Sunset Smoothie – Imagine the sand between your toes, warmed by the sun, on a private beach, and dusk is on the horizon with deep glowing hues of pinks, reds, and oranges. This Blood Orange Smoothie is colored just like the sunset I was describing. With such intense flavors, they are bursting with citrus on your taste buds, and their pungent aromas are satisfyingly uplifting. There is a high concentration of Vitamins in this recipe, such as Vitamin C which is great for helping rid toxins from the immune system. This vibrant drink will help to nourish your body and internal gut, reducing inflammation in the body as well.
Healthy Tip: Oranges contain significant amounts of Vitamin C and A. Oranges are packed full of fibers, hesperidin, and folate. These natural properties help in aiding our cardiovascular system as well as playing a role in progressive brain development. The high concentration of vitamin C is a non-inflammatory mechanism as it helps rid toxins from the immune system.
