Super Smoothies :: Orange Spice Zinger

By Emily Smith

Good morning! Are you ready to wake up to a sweet, delicious, energizing smoothie?  I think so.  I know I am ;)  I had lots of oranges left over from making marmalade (as favors for Little A’s Paddington Bear party tomorrow), so I’ve been including them in our smoothies.  Just a few splendid ingredients blended together makes for a heavenly treat!

Major bonus: it’s immune boosting capabilities. Drink a few of these babies this week to get yourself in tip top flu-fighting shape!
