Are you ready to shake up your smoothie game with a fresh twist? A strawberry orange smoothie might be just what you need. This tasty blend of juicy strawberries and zesty oranges is a perfect way to start your day or to enjoy as a refreshing snack.

It’s packed full of vitamin C to help keep you energized and healthy. The best part is that this smoothie is both delicious and completely plant-based.

Preparing The Ingredients

Start by picking fresh strawberries. Wash them thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt. Hull them by cutting off the green tops. If the strawberries are large, you can slice them in half. This will help them blend smoothly.

Next, grab some fresh oranges. Peel them and remove any seeds. You can also take off as much of the white pith as possible, since it can taste a bit bitter. Divide the orange into small sections.

For a creamy texture, use unsweetened almond milk or another plant-based milk of your choice. Make sure to shake the carton well before measuring it out, so you get the right consistency.

Finally, add some sweetener if you like. Agave syrup works well, or you can try maple syrup. Just a tablespoon or even less should be enough, depending on your taste.

Variations To Try

• With mango: Switch up your vegan strawberry orange smoothie with some mango. It adds a sweet twist. Blend in some fresh pineapple for a tropical punch.
• With greens: Add a handful of spinach for a green boost. This doesn’t change the fruity taste much. Plus, it sneaks in extra nutrients.
• With almond milk: Use almond milk instead of regular water or juice. It makes your smoothie creamier. Coconut water is another fun option. It gives a subtle coconut flavor without being overpowering.
• With berries: For a bit of tanginess, toss in a few raspberries or blackberries. They add a nice depth to the flavor. Try using frozen strawberries or oranges to make the smoothie extra frosty.
• With spices: Want some extra excitement? Add a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg. A dash of ginger can help spice it up, too.
• With vanilla or mint: Feel free to swirl in some vanilla extract or a touch of mint. This can create a refreshing and aromatic sip.

Storage Tips

• Make sure your smoothie is in an airtight container. This helps keep it fresh and prevents any spills in your fridge. A mason jar or a tight-lid bottle works great.
• If you won’t finish your smoothie today, you can freeze it. Just leave a bit of space at the top of the container because liquids expand when they freeze. When you’re ready to enjoy it again, let it thaw in the fridge or blend it with a little more almond milk.
• Storing your smoothie in the fridge will keep it fresh for about 1-2 days. Shake well before drinking since the ingredients might settle.
• Always give it a quick taste before drinking if it’s been sitting for a while. If anything seems off, it’s best to toss it and make a fresh batch.
