Ina's Orange Banana Smoothie

We had eaten a very late (and quite large) lunch, so by the time dinner rolled around, we just weren’t that hungry. Fast forward to 8pm, and while we were still quite full, we wanted something sweet. Hmmm….

I had bookmarked this smoothie drink and we had all the ingredients, so we busted out our blender and went to town. This smoothie drink definitely foot the bill. It was refreshing, light, healthy, and has no sweetener or sugar. 100% all natural, filling, and dairy-free. Ina's original version uses fresh strawberries- we opted to use frozen strawberries that we just picked up from Trader Joe's and it gave it a nice smoothie (thicker) consistency.
