This orange peach raspberry smoothie is bright, easy, tasty, and full of antioxidants. Avocado and a  bit of turmeric give this smoothie great depth of flavor.

When I’m sick, I crave smoothies. Just thinking about blending together a bunch of vitamin-packed produce makes me feel a tad better, and my outlook only improves once I’m actually drinking it. Smoothies, especially ones that look like sunshine in a glass, also help me momentarily forget about winter. For me, they’re are an important aspect of self-care.
I wanted this smoothie to have plenty of Vitamin C, so I used oranges, peaches, and raspberries. Also, like I almost always do, I added an avocado. It makes the smoothie really creamy, but you won’t taste it. The healthy fat from the avocado also makes this nice and filling.

To make the smoothie pack even more of a punch, I added some turmeric and fresh ginger. In addition to providing more potential health benefits, these rhizomes add depth of flavor, and the turmeric deepens the golden color.
The cara cara oranges I used also contributed to the hue of this drink. I bet using blood oranges would make the color pop even more!

What are your favorite home remedies when you’re feeling under the weather? The main things in my arsenal are smoothies, homemade chicken soup, and ginger thyme tea, but I’m always looking for new ideas!

This orange peach raspberry smoothie is bright, easy, tasty, and full of antioxidants. Avocado and a bit of turmeric give this smoothie great depth of flavor.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups (10 ounces) frozen sliced peaches
  • 2 medium oranges, preferably seedless, peeled and segmented

I have stainless steel smoothie straws and love them so much. They even come with a special cleaning brush! Here are some that are similar to what I have.
