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!

egg whites never tried that
This sounds so fresh and delicious as well as nutritious!
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 good and refreshing. I will give it a go.
I like the idea of using sugar substitute as a diabetic
I am not a huge orange smoothie person, but these sound great
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.
Looks like a great way to start the day! Pinned!
egg whites in the smoothie is very interesting. i’m going to keep that in mind. this looks super refreshing. yum!
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!
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! 🙂
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.
I love orange smoothies for breakfast. I will have to try this recipe for my next one.
This is definitely a delicious looking smoothie. I have smoothies everyday. I will add this recipe to my list.
That looks like a refreshing smoothie for the up coming summer months.
