This sugar-free and vegan Citrus Green Smoothie is the perfect way to start the day. Loaded with a generous helping of fresh greens and infused with oranges and walnuts.
We love smoothies year-round, but I have to tell you – I have come to enjoying winter smoothies much more than warm weather smoothies. This probably sounds totally backwards right?
I think it has to do with the fact that in the warmer months, fresh produce of all varieties are abundant and we are constantly eating salads, raw veggies and lightly cooked veggies. In the winter, there are not as many choices and while I do have the occasional salad, I tend to go for warm foods and cooked vegetables when it’s cold out.
A fresh green smoothie in the winter is like a blast of raw veggies and that’s what I love the most about it. I think you are going to really dig this easy smoothie recipe!

I love that this is sugar free! Looks like a great way to start my mornings!
Thanks Brandy!
I’m so the same way about winter smoothies! I’ve had one like every day this week. But they all have to be green, or else I just feel like I’m drinking dessert. This one totally fits the bill of what I want so I think I’ll make it tomorrow! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Exactly Michele!
Perfect for flu season! This sounds like a great and delicious way boost the immune season!
Yes! Nothing like a boost of Vitamin C to kick whatever bug is lingering.
This is what I should have had for breakfast! That looks amazing!
Thanks Angie! I love starting the day with a green smoothie 🙂
This smoothie looks delicious and I love how many nutritious ingredients it packs in the mix. PS. Love the idea of these produce filters, haven’t see anything like that before.
Thanks Irena!
I’m the same way about smoothies in the winter! This one sounds delicious, love the ginger and mango in there. I think I need to get some of those filters!
Thanks Faith! I was thinking of you when I made this one 😉
This smoothie sounds so healthy and refreshing! I could really use a couple of Daisey Fresh filters because nothing is more disappointing then going grab some greens from the fridge, only find that they’ve started to rot.
Right? The filters really make a difference – I love them!
Ooo this sounds so refreshing – I’m going to make it tomorrow! Thank you!
Hope you love it Renee!
It seems strange that I never think to make smoothies in the winter. You made me want one so bad now!
I especially love citrus in my winter smoothies!
