Citrus fruits are known for their tangy-sweet flavor and high vitamin C content. This Citrus Smoothie combines fresh oranges, lemon juice, pineapple, and yogurt into a creamy, zesty drink that refreshes the body and strengthens immunity. The natural sweetness of fruit is balanced with a hint of honey, making it a healthier alternative to sugary beverages.

The smoothie is hydrating, light, and loaded with antioxidants that help fight fatigue and improve digestion. It’s an excellent choice for breakfast on-the-go, a mid-day snack, or a cooling summer drink. The yogurt adds protein and probiotics, making it more filling and gut-friendly.

You can also customize this smoothie—add spinach for a green twist, chia seeds for extra fibre, or coconut water instead of yogurt for a dairy-free version.

  3. Add chia seeds or flax seeds for extra fibre and omega-3s.
