Heavenly Mandarin Morning Smoothie
I asked my husband to grab a bag of mandarin oranges on his way home from work. He brought home TWO JUMBO BAGS along with a bag of naval oranges! There are only two humans in our household so we have 50 mandarins and 12 naval oranges to consume.
And so…
I got busy making a smoothie for the man who believes with all his heart that Mandarins will be served in heaven. (He is now certain of this since he has discovered the Halo on the bag of Halo Mandarins.)
I am calling this lovely glass of orange deliciousness The Mandarin Morning Smoothie! It seriously will make your socks roll up and down!
PS If you are a morning juice person, give my Sparkling Charm De-Poof Beauty Juice a try.

I tried this with 2 mandarins, a frozen individual Activa plain yogurt and about 1/4 cup of milk and it was awesome! Going to throwing more yogurt containers in the freezer as lots of oranges to use up! Thanks!
