Citrus season is in full bloom and I’m going all out on the sweet, tart, and juicy fruits right now. I cannot get enough of them!

If you love citrus fruits, you’re going to love today’s recipe featuring a variety of beautiful oranges and Meyer lemons, along with other delicious winter fruits.

While smoothies are meant to be sipped, smoothie bowls are meant to be enjoyed in a bowl with a spoon. That’s why I’ve piled on all sorts of goodies in this delicious orange smoothie bowl recipe.

Let’s Make an Orange Smoothie Bowl

To make this beautiful orange smoothie bowl, gather the following ingredients:

Citrus Fruits: Of course to make a citrus smoothie bowl, you’ll need plenty of citrus fruits. I used sumo and navel oranges and Meyer lemons to ensure this citrusy smoothie bowl is oh-so-citrusy and bright orange too. There are many wonderful oranges in season now, so pick what you like. I like naval oranges, cara cara oranges, and even blood oranges with their bright red flesh.

Bananas: Freeze a couple of ripe bananas the night before you make this orange smoothie bowl. Frozen fruit will make result in a thicker smoothie bowl. I recommend peeling the bananas before freezing them.

Almondmilk: To make this smoothie bowl dairy-free, you’ll need to use a dairy-free milk alternative. I used almondmilk, but you could use cashewmilk, soymilk, or another “milk” alternative. If using oatmilk, make sure it’s gluten-free. Consult my list of gluten-free oatmilks before heading to the grocery store.

Mint: Mint adds a wonderful minty flavor to this already flavorful smoothie bowl. I like to combine the mint with a little sugar in my food processor and blend it together until the mint leaves are pulverized. You’ll use this mint-sugar mixture as a refreshing topping for your orange smoothie bowl.

With all the ingredients ready to go, it’s time to make the base of the smoothie by adding the following ingredients to your food processor or high-speed blender:

• Frozen bananas
• Meyer lemon (peeled)
• Navel orange (peeled)
• Sumo oranges (peeled)
• Almondmilk

Blend the fruit until it’s smooth but not watery, then pour the mixture into two large bowls. Top each bowl with a layer of the mint-sugar blend, and then layer each bowl with fresh, in-season winter fruits such as orange wedges, blueberries, sliced kiwi, and fresh mint leaves.

You can also add a dusting of coconut flakes to the top for more texture and flavor.
