Also try my Breakfast Power Smoothie, all the greens and berries to start the day off right!
While I don’t make huge resolutions this time of year {been there, failed at that}, I have vowed to make simple and healthy changes. More importantly, these changes are realistic and attainable. For instance, I’ve been drinking more water than ever, a simple and obvious change, but an important one.
Yet, I’ve also increased my vegetables and am consciously watching my sugar intake. I gotta admit, I’m doing well so far and feel great.
In 2015 I’d like to drink more healthy and delicious smoothies, since they are a great way to get in a lot of the good stuff. This Fresh Orange Smoothie is one recipe that I’m very much enjoying right now.
The taste of this Fresh Orange Smoothie is exactly that, and with all the sickness that is making it’s rounds this time of year – the huge dose of Vitamin C is most welcome. In other words, super shop for the oranges people, you’re gonna love this one!
Notice one egg whites in this smoothie? It’s a new addition to all my smoothies actually, and it’s quite honestly been a game changer.
I can put money on your reaction right now, since it’s the same one I had when I was first introduced to the idea of adding this ingredient to my smoothies.
As well, it’s the same reaction that a few of my friends had when I told them about it: “you can’t put raw eggs in smoothies?!“.
Thanks to those rad 80s movies, we’re all picturing the cracking of eggs into a blender whilst wearing a pastel headband to hold back the perm, complete with a lycra Jane Fonda inspired bodysuit. While it’s good for a chuckle, no. Just no.
Liquid Egg Whites is a great option for those that need extra protein {like athletes}, or who may be looking for sources of protein other than meat {like vegetarians}. They also provides an all-natural fat-free egg product for those on a low fat diet, like heart patients. Plus, it’s just so convenient having these egg whites in a carton on hand!

I’ve never tried egg whites in a smoothie recipe, but now I am intrigued to try it. This looks delicious!
I have never heard of adding egg whites to smoothies. Wow… totally need to check into this. Thanks so much for sharing.
This sounds delicious. I love orange anything, and I love this recipe. It reminds me a lot of something I’d get from Orange Julius.
Oh yum, this sounds deliciously. Any idea how many calories is in it?
This pretty much sounds like orange dream in a glass. Which means I’m going to love it! Yum!
This is a great way to add protein to any smoothie without the expense of a protein powder. I’m still trying to convince my kids that eating raw egg won’t kill them.
Sounds delicious! What kind of blender do you use? I love trying out new smoothie recipes, but a lot of recipes require one of those super expensive power blenders. I have a regular blender and a immersion blender, so nothing fancy.
I use just a regular blender for smoothies. 🙂
This sounds delicious! It’s like a guilt free version of an orange Julius!
This sounds yummy and looks beautiful!
I love Orange Smoothies. Orange is my favorite flavor of everything lol. Thanks for the recipe.
How cool – I would have never thought to put egg whites in my smoothies! This looks absolutely delicious! My son would LOVE this!
Sounds great, thanks!
Wow, that looks really delicious and totally nutritious! My kids would LOVE it!

This sounds really good!
That looks like a refreshing smoothie for the up coming summer months.
This is definitely a delicious looking smoothie. I have smoothies everyday. I will add this recipe to my list.
I love orange smoothies for breakfast. I will have to try this recipe for my next one.
Yum! I have two oranges and I’m making this right now. I’ve made a similar drink before, but never though about adding the egg whites. I have some fluff, which is basically egg whites with a bit of sugar, so I may use that. 🙂 Thank you so much for this dose of deliciousness.
Huh, never thought about adding egg whites… wonder if thats what my smoothies have been missing to actually taste smooth, LOL. Can’t wait to try this, thanks for the inspiration! 🙂
I have never thought of using egg whites in a smoothie; makes sense to up the protein… still would be anxious of consuming it raw!
egg whites in the smoothie is very interesting. i’m going to keep that in mind. this looks super refreshing. yum!
Looks like a great way to start the day! Pinned!
I am going to go and try this smoothie right now. I have been looking for the perfect “Orange Smoothie” recipe for a long, long time and I think this one is IT.
I am not a huge orange smoothie person, but these sound great
I like the idea of using sugar substitute as a diabetic
This sounds so good and refreshing. I will give it a go.
I use Burnbrae Farms Naturegg Simply Egg Whites all the time, but have never tried them in a smoothie. (yes I had the same reaction ) This one sounds delicious and refreshing too. Thanks for sharing.
This sounds so fresh and delicious as well as nutritious!
egg whites never tried that
I have been making more smoothies this year to be healthier but usually do strawberry smoothies, Thanks for the recipe.
i don’t know why I don’t use oranges in smoothies more often because this looks amazing!!
Sounds great! Thx for sharing!
This sounds yummy and refreshing!
This smoothie sounds so refreshing. The orange scent alone would perk me up!
