Orange, fig & coconut smoothie

by Monika January 17, 2019

Ingredients for Orange, Fig & Coconut Smoothie We call our Orange, fig & coconut smoothie “The Vitamin C Bomb.” If you’re feeling like you need an inoculation of good health, here it is in a glass!

We love this smoothie because it’s creamy-rich in healthy fats (hello, coconut oil!) Dried figs give it sweetness (no sugar in our smoothies), and the citrus, well, it’s zingy as all get-out. Adding citrus peel adds a little more sweet and bitter flavor, and (you guessed it): hella Vitamin C punch!

Because we love to garnish, our Orange, fig & coconut smoothie gets a sprinkle of chia seeds to the top. Chia seeds contribute healthy fats, antioxidants, protein, and appetite control. Also, it is satisfying to “chew” on a sip…it makes us feel like we’re having a meal. If you like a “smooth smoothie,” then leave them out.

So good! I got some fresh figs at TJs yesterday and have some oranges lying around after a Cocktail Shoot, so I’m making this smoothie TODAY! One of my faves.
