Ingredients
Oranges: First, be sure to peel and remove seeds from any oranges being used
Mango: Gives a creamy texture
Bananas: A great source of potassium and an excellent source of natural sweetener
Oat milk: You can adjust this depending on how thick you like your smoothie
Ice: Because no one wants a warm smoothie
Chia seeds: A great source of fiber and omega-3 fatty acids
Vanilla: Finally, finish off with a small dose of vanilla!
Instructions
Place all ingredients into a blender and blend until fully blended and creamy. To adjust consistency easily add a small amount of milk.
Storage
If you have just made a smoothie and want to store it for later, you can refrigerate it in an airtight container for up to 24 hours. However, the longer you store it, the more it will separate and lose its texture and flavor. So, it is best to consume it as soon as possible.
Equipment
High-power blender: you want to be certain you are using a high-power blender in order to blend the oranges all the way through.

Top Tips
Do not omit the banana: Adding a banana to the smoothie will not only add a creamy texture but also provide natural sweetness
Add ice: If you want a colder smoothie, you can add ice cubes or crushed ice to the blender. However, be careful not to add too much ice as it may dilute the flavor.
