Roots and Fruits Power Smoothie

Roots and Fruits Power Smoothie I www.haideekitchen.blogspot.com

It seems summer will never end here in the gulf. Today was 37*C but feels like 41! We're in the middle of September and still not a cloud in sight! So hang in there for a few more days, winter is coming, eventually.


And since it still feels very much like summer, I thought it's not too late to share one of my favorite superfood power smoothie, one that will quench your thirst and that your body will love. It's packed with natural vitamins and other nutrients that will boost your immune system; perfect for this extended hot and very humid weather. Rawsome!

juice of 2 oranges
fresh mint leaves (from 4-5 sprigs of mint leaves)

Optional,(because I love spices!):

a pinch of 1/8 tsp freshly-shaved nutmeg

Procedure:
1. Toss everything in a blender and blend until smooth.

That's it! It's that simple. Enjoy!
