Is there anything better than a cold, sweet citrus smoothie on a hot summer day?

Orange smoothies are so popular in my home and not just in the summer. Since these smoothies have a huge amount of Vitamin C, I find myself making them at the slightest hint of a cold or sore throat!

Its amazing what this smoothie can do for the me when I am feeling run-down. All the anti-oxidants and vitamins in this smoothie are so uplifting.

Just one sip and I feel every cell in my body being healed immediately! This is an amazing stress-buster smoothie!

I am often sitting on my porch with one of these orange smoothies in hand. I can't think of a better way to spend a lazy summer afternoon with my family.

If you can make freshly squeezed orange juice, use that for this recipe. Or, the store bought juice will work too. If there is any extra orange juice left over, how about using it in a sweet orange glaze recipe for a delicious homemade baked donut recipe.

I always have pineapple in the house. Its one of those ingredients that I use weekly. My slow cooker pineapple chicken and my slow cooker pineapple beef teriyaki are recipes that I make often which means I have pineapples left over. I will freeze them just to make this pineapple smoothie.

On Sunday mornings, I often make my pina colada pancakes which calls for even more pineapple. The left over pineapple often goes into making this smoothie later in the afternoon.

You should be able to find frozen fresh pineapple chunks at most large grocery stores, which makes this recipe super-easy and fast.

If not, you can buy fresh pineapple chunks (or even a whole pineapple and then cut it yourself) and stick them in the freezer overnight before making this recipe.

As I was thinking about what kind of citrus recipe to make for this Sunday Supper event, it came to mind that I only have one other smoothie recipe on my site so far, and it was crafted around fall flavors (find it here --> Apple Cider Smoothie).

Of course, just because the ingredients in that smoothie are more reminiscent of autumn doesn't mean I can't enjoy it year round, but I am definitely in the mood for something a little brighter and lighter now that we are headed into spring!

The impending arrival of warmer weather totally has me in the mood for citrus recipes. Not only does the event give me a reason to come up with a citrus recipe, but now I also have a WHOLE LIST of amazing citrus recipes right at the bottom of this post, ready for me to eat and drink my way through them! 😎

Many thanks to Lisa from Jersey Girl Cooks for hosting this event!
