Ingredients
1 teaspoon alcohol-free vanilla extract
2 seedless oranges, peeled and segmented
1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
1 tablespoon chia seeds, plus more for garnish, optional
2 teaspoons honey
1 teaspoon cinnamon, plus more for garnish, optional
1 teaspoon chopped peeled gingerroot (about one 1/2-inch piece)
Directions
- Blend the coconut milk, chia seeds, honey, cinnamon, ginger, vanilla, oranges and 3 ice cubes in a blender on low speed until everything begins to combine. Raise the setting to high and blend until everything is well combined and the smoothie begins to have a creamy consistency. Taste; if you like it colder, add more ice cubes and blend until smooth.
- Pour into two glasses and garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon and chia seeds if using.
