dumb question can you use regular oranges in smoothies? every recipe calls for orange juice.

Slice an orange in half pop it in the microwave for about 15 20 seconds then squeeze it you'll get more juice :)

just squeeze the juice out of orange? and microwave in peel or what? @hockeymama

Yea take a whole orange cut it in half place it in the microwave then squeeze it!

yes you can put whole pieces of oranges, just make sure that you get as much of the white rind off as possible. more white=more bitterness

OK thanks guys I don't have a juicer or anything lol @hockeymama @kattastrophe

I saw it on a show called life hacks lol

peeled oranges can go right in the blender if you like, there will be Pulp of course though

You can put the whole orange or lemon in the blender (if you have one strong enough to blend it) it's actually healthier to just add the whole thing. I used to make a pms smoothie that called for a whole orange that you just washed then tossed in the blender.

is it really pulpy? I was gonna combine it with strawberries and yogurt @crazytoast

@jasminemaye, if that's all you're adding then it's probably going to be or if your blender can't blend it enough. We have a ninja blender so it blends everything to nothing. I would just squeeze it if everything you're using is already pretty soft ☺ so it's not all chunky.

yea I bought a cheap $10 blender lol so I'll probably just squeeze it thanks (: @crazytoast
