As it’s warming up outside, get ready to add this refreshing and nourishing smoothie to your rotation. It’s perfectly creamy and bright with orange flavor from the whole fruit and zest, reminiscent of a creamsicle popsicle.
You might know oranges for their vitamin C content, but they are also packed with antioxidant polyphenols that work together with vitamin C in the body for immunity, skin health, and more. Most of these polyphenols are in the peel and white, pithy part of the orange, which you’ll make the most of in this smoothie. The orange color of oranges comes from carotenoids, yet another type of antioxidant.
This orange creamsicle smoothie is also the perfect vehicle for Body Kitchen Youthful Beauty Advanced Powder and Body Kitchen Collagen + Elastin Powder, providing protein to target skin firmness, elasticity, and vibrance.
