Can I make a bigger batch?

Yes! This recipe is really easy to multiply by however many servings you need. Keep in mind your blender only fits so much and it will be harder to blend everything if it's too packed so it's a good idea to work in batches.

Is this enough for a meal?

Yes, you can have this for breakfast. Make sure to add protein powder and healthy fats like almond butter to keep you full longer. I make this on days when I'm in a rush and want a light breakfast.

Can I make this smoothie ahead?

No, smoothies don't keep well in general so I recommend always making your smoothie right before serving. If you have to, you can store it in an airtight container in the fridge for a few hours.

Does the smoothie have too much sugar? Is it healthy?

Fruit naturally has a lot of sugar. The smoothie still contains all the fiber which makes it different from a juice. If you want to cut some of the carbs, skip the orange juice and add water instead. You could also peel and chop one orange and add it to the smoothie instead of the juice!

Instructions

Add everything to a high-speed blender with the liquids going in first to make everything easier to blend.
Blend on high until completely blended and smooth. Add more liquid if needed to reach desired consistency.
Pour into a tall glass and enjoy immediately. Serve with a straw and sip slowly.

Notes

I like serving my smoothies with a wide straw to pace myself and avoid drinking the smoothie too quickly.
If necessary, you can store the smoothie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 1 day.
The recipe makes 1 serving if it's made as a meal or up to 4 servings if made as a light snack.
