Sometimes you just have to use what you have available. I saw a can of mandarin oranges and thought – hmm, I wonder what I can do with these. Regular peeled oranges could be used as well.
Tip: Buy some bananas, peel them, cut them in half or in thirds and package them in a zip lock bag in the freezer. Now you have frozen bananas whenever you need them. Frozen bananas act as a thickener to your smoothies, add natural sweetness and give a creamy texture.
