Go ahead and buy the big bag of mandarin oranges. You might eat most of them out of hand, but save a few to use in this citrus-kissed smoothie. A scoop of protein powder makes sure you’ll be satisfied all morning long, and you’ll get immune-boosting vitamin C and ginger.
Oftentimes, smoothies aren’t recommended because liquids don’t fill you up as much as solids. However, this smoothie has enough protein and fiber to offer some satiety benefits, and it’s packed with nutrients from the spinach, mandarins and turmeric. To make the smoothie more balanced, try using low- or full-fat Greek yogurt.
Mandarin-Ginger Smoothie Ingredients Directions Place all the ingredients, in order, in a high-powered blender and secure the lid. Blend, starting on low and increasing to high speed.
