Orange, Spinach, Basil Smoothie

This is one of my faaaavorite things to wake up with. Unfortunately, I can't take the credit for this one. This simple recipe I got from Kristina Carrillo-Bucaram. Kristina owns the Rawfully Organic Co-op in Houston, TX. She has an amazing story about how she became raw and a great Youtube channel where she talks all about health, raw foods, and shares her recipes. You can check her out at http://rawfullyorganic.com/ and http://fullyraw.com/.

This recipe is quick and easy. You only need 3 ingredients:

-7 to 10 oranges
- a handful of organic spinach
- basil

A variety of organic oranges

Spinach from the local farmers market

Fresh Basil

First, I juiced all of my oranges, strained the juice (or not if you want some pulp), and poured it into my VitaMix or some other good quality blender that will blend everything smoothly. Then, I threw in a handful of spinach and a chunk of basil leaves, and blended until smooth. MmmmMmmm.

The finished product! So fresh and so sweet.
