This orange carrot turmeric smoothie is a winner. I call it my sunshine smoothie as it has all the flavours of the Mediterranean and so much more. Blended with Mediterranean spices, succulently sweet oranges and ripened mango, you can really imagine what sunshine tastes like!
Living in Spain and used to picking oranges from my garden I never take sweet oranges for granted. I remember the first time moving to Spain and being in awe of oranges growing on the trees. I wanted to pick them all right there and then! Always buy good quality oranges especially when they are the hero ingredient. Bitter oranges can make or break a recipe ! If I have to buy oranges out of season I buy the best quality even if they are more expensive. It’s totally worth it!
