Young and Raw Smoothie Challenge | Week 2

This month, I’m posting updates of the smoothie challenge I’m doing on Friday’s!  I’m really enjoying it so far, so I wanted to share!  I hope you enjoy the recipes as much as I do!  You can find a more info on the challenge in the first blog post of this mini series!

I had really high hopes for the pictured recipe, but I have to say, I just wasn’t feeling the basil.  I love basil, but it overpowered the smoothie for me.  Keep scrolling for my favorite recipe!  :)

  • 2 cups strawberries
  • 5 romaine leaves
  • 1 orange – juice or whole orange
  • 1 handful basil
  • 1 Cup Water

My favorite smoothie recipe this week, and maybe so far, is today’s!  I never thought orange could make such a difference, but I loooove the result of throwing an orange into a smoothie!  Also, I ate the cilantro separately so I didn’t actually add it into my smoothie.  Here’s the recipe:

  • 1 orange
  • 1 cup strawberries – I like to use frozen ones!
  • 2 cups greens – I used spinach! :)
  • 1 handful cilantro
  • 1 cup coconut water or regular water – I used 1/2 cup pineapple coconut water and 1/2 cup orange juice to give it an extra boost of orange!
