I don't know what it is but I like Blood Oranges way more than your regular run of the mill Oranges. Maybe it's the antioxidants, the extra Folic Acid or just the name, but whenever I see these guys in the store I've got to get some.
Blood oranges taste amazing in a Green Smoothie because of their berry like overtones. Here's the recipe I used today:
1 Blood Orange peeled
1 Cup of Coconut Water
1 Cup of Mixed Greens (I used Kale, Arugula, Mache, and Cilantro)
1 Tablespoon of Ground Flax Seed
Blend all the ingredients in a high powered blender like a Vitamix or Blendtec and enjoy!
