Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 large blood oranges peeled and segmented, seeds removed
- 1 cup frozen mango chunks provides creamy texture and sweetness
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or any plant-based milk

Notes
Storage: This smoothie is best consumed immediately but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours; shake or stir before drinking as separation may occur.
Make-Ahead: For a quicker morning routine, pre-portion the blood orange segments and mango into freezer bags. Simply add the frozen fruit to the blender with the other ingredients.
Substitutions: Substitute blood oranges with regular oranges or tangerines if unavailable. You can use coconut water instead of almond milk for a lighter version.
Serving Suggestions: For a thicker, ice-cream-like consistency, add 1/2 cup of frozen banana slices. For a protein boost, add a scoop of unflavored or vanilla plant-based protein powder.
