Common Questions & Swaps

  • If at the time of the year that you are reading this recipe, blood oranges are not in season, feel free to swap them out with a regular orange.
  • No hemp hearts or flax seeds? You can omit them. I personally love to add them to my smoothies for added healthy fats and Omega 3s.

  • For an extra anti-oxidant kick, add 1/2 teaspoon of ground turmeric and a crack of pepper.
