Smoothies, while delicious, are often rather unhealthy. They can be loaded with hidden refined sugars and can be very rich in calories due to the addition of full-fat dairy products or other additions, such as chocolate. This simple smoothie has just four ingredients, no added refined sugars, is naturally gluten-free, and very delicious. Since it's only around 130 calories for one serving, have it along with a bowl of your favorite cereal or a bagel to keep your breakfast around 300 calories or so.
Orange Banana Smoothie
1½ cups freshly squeezed orange juice (around 4 large oranges)
1 tbsp. freshly squeezed lime juice
1 cup strawberries, tops removed and sliced in quarters
1 to 1½ ripe bananas
Combine all the ingredients in a blender until smooth. Pour into glasses and refrigerate until cold. You can also make this ahead of time - pour into a large container with a lid. Make sure to stir up the smoothie before you serve it.
Serves 2 - 3
