Enjoy a delicious and nutritious summer orange smoothie that supports your fat loss goals with its refreshing flavors and beneficial ingredients.
Oranges are rich in vitamin C, which boosts metabolism and supports immune function. They also provide fiber for digestion and potassium for electrolyte balance.
Prepare 2 oranges (peeled and segmented), 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (plain, low-fat), 1 tablespoon chia seeds (for added fiber and omega-3s), 1/2 cup almond milk (unsweetened), ice cubes.
Peel and segment the oranges, ensuring no seeds remain. Place the orange segments in a blender.
Add Greek yogurt for protein and creaminess, promoting satiety and providing a smooth texture to the smoothie.
Include chia seeds for their fiber content, which aids in digestion and helps you feel full longer. Chia seeds also provide omega-3 fatty acids, supporting overall health.
Pour in unsweetened almond milk to enhance the smoothie's consistency without adding excess calories. Almond milk contributes a nutty flavor and complements the oranges well.
Blend all ingredients until smooth and creamy. Adjust the thickness by adding more almond milk if desired, or ice cubes for a chilled texture.
The natural sweetness of oranges eliminates the need for additional sweeteners, keeping the smoothie low in added sugars.
