There was something about it that just screamed summer and since it wasn’t always an option or the healthiest I only got to indulge once and a while. Now as an adult, I do what I want which means that I turn childhood favourites into healthy, plant based, nutritious desserts, snacks and smoothies so that the child in me can have what I want – when I want! Take a delicious walk down memory lane with me and indulge in this Citrus Creamsicle Smoothie! I’ve given this classic treat a zesty upgrade with the amazing sumo citrus – it’s sweet, juicy, and just perfect for the flavour profile of all of our inner child dreams!
You’d be surprised at how beautiful a smoothie can become with a few swirls of yogurt. The process is way easier than you’d think; all you need to do is add a little yogurt onto the back of a spoon and swirl it inside your serving glasses. Pop your cup in the fridge to chill until you’re ready to pour the rest of your drink.
Let’s chat about the superhero of the season – Vitamin C! As we whirl through these chillier months, our bodies crave a little extra love and care, and that’s where Vitamin C shines bright. It’s like a cuddly, warm hug for our immune system, helping us fend off those pesky colds and flu. This mighty vitamin is also a superstar for our skin, keeping it radiant during these typically darker months (on this side of the plant at least; where are my Aussies at enjoying SUMMER?!) Plus, it’s a mood booster, and who doesn’t need a sprinkle of cheer during the short, dark days of winter? So, let’s amp up our Vitamin C intake with yummy citrus fruit smoothies like this Citrus Creamsicle Smoothie! Your body will thank you with a jolly ol’ high-five!
Remember, if your citrus pick is on the tart side, a dash of maple syrup will do the trick to sweeten things up. Grab your blender and let your inner child shine with this delicious Citrus Creamsicle Smoothie!
