Finally a warm day so I was able to enjoy lunch outside for the first time this year. To start I had my newest most favouritest green smoothie. Its made with my current favorite variety of orange but you’d never guess from it’s colour. Not the most attractive of smoothie’s is it, despite the beautiful colour of the oranges I used!
I’m just loving these Moro blood oranges at the moment, so juicy and tart. Paired with a sweet Golden Delicious apple the flavours combined nicely into a sweet but still tart and sharp tasting smoothie.

You could of course use other kinds of oranges and other varieties of apples but then you’d have to call it Pink Lady Navel or Valencia Gala or whatever. Just saying….
