I am always a little sad when citrus season comes to an end, especially the end of one of my favorite seasonal citrus fruits, tangelos. This smoothie is loaded with antioxidants, in particular flavonoids from the tangelo zest. Make sure that you wash your citrus well using a produce wash. An inexpensive yet effective method to wash produce is to use apple cider vinegar. I learned it from my the lovely Celiac blogger Christina of Buenqamino. Dilute 1-2 Tbsp of apple cider vinegar in one cup of water. Add your produce and submerge them in water for a minimum of 10 minutes. Apple cider vinegar actually helps to remove pesticides, wax and dirt. Ginger, a powerful anti-inflammatory is one of my favourite smoothie staples. I always have some on hand to add to smoothies. Another one of my favourite smoothie staples is frozen organic cauliflower. I use it instead of bananas. I've been asked if it makes the smoothie taste weird. Not at all, in fact when you put the right ingredients together in a smoothie, you won't even detect it. You will even fool your kiddos!! If you use fresh cauliflower it will be too mealy in your smoothie and the texture will not be nice. So use frozen, you won't regret it! If you don't have any yogurt you can use dairy free milk in it's place, your smoothie just won't be as thick.
