How to make a Citrus Blast Smoothie in a Vitamix Blender | Recipe Video

[@thefunplace4269]

You should blend the whole lemon, including the peel. Great nutrition in the lemon peel.

[@RawBlendAustralia]

Would definitely add more zing! Just have to ensure it's organic or washed really well :) Thanks for watching and happy blending!

Just had it for lock down brekky. Didn't have the ice but as still cool here in the UK today it's actually pretty good. Look forward to trying it with the ice. BTW, I added some ginger for a bit more zing! Niiice.

[@RawBlendAustralia]

I hope you're coping with Lock down David. What a time to be living in hey? Use the time wisely :) Glad you enjoyed the smoothie and great idea with adding in some ginger! Great for the immunity and taste! Happy Blending and stay safe!

[@RawBlendAustralia]

+Dana Cason Thank you for your comment. We love using Ceramic Knives. You can find more information on them through our website. shop.rawblend.com.au/slicers-spinners/?sort=priceasc Thanks for watching and happy blending!

[@izzybramham2369]

+Tommy Nicholas - Raw Blend I thought that lemons were acidic not alkaline

[@miztri]

I love pink grapefruits. Do you have any recipes for that

[@RawBlendAustralia]

Not yet.... but a great idea! See what we can do :) Thanks for watching!

[@leibrown9346]

Thanks for sharing

[@RawBlendAustralia]

Thanks for watching!

[@TRUEFUNKSOULDIER]

H I Tommy..hey I was wondering would this work as well if all the ingredients were frozen for this recipe? looks great by the way!!

[@RawBlendAustralia]

Hi TRUEFUNKSOULDIER We haven't tried this recipe when they're frozen. You could definitely give it a go and add more water if needed :) It's all about trial and error :) Thanks for watching and happy blending!

[@tracyherwig8334]

Looks great but I'd HAVE to get that pith off, i know there's good things there but I'd be wasting a smoothie, that taste is especially foul to me. Out of curiosity, is there something I can use if, say, I have the other components but want that orange in there? Concentrate or (don't throw stuff at me) canned mandarins? I know fresh is better but sometimes things happen.

[@RawBlendAustralia]

+Tracy Herwig No problems at all in regards to the Pith! Everyone is different and at the end of the day you are drinking the smoothie so it's best to enjoy it! As you mentioned, fresh is always better and I steer clear of anything canned and that is a concentrate however, as you said, things do happen! You could use canned fruits if needed however, try not to include the syrup that they come soaking in as that stuff is pure sugar! Always try and get fresh ingredients when you can. Happy Blending!

[@kgfairgo5559]

Leave the rind on it too

[@RawBlendAustralia]

You can if you like but it's a little bitter, thanks for watching!

[@clothestravel]

Isn’t it bad for the motor to start on 10?

[@RawBlendAustralia]

Not really. For certain recipes I always start on high speed. Please note Vitamix recommend starting on a slower speed because then the ingredients don't jump into the lid, so it's safer in case you forget to put your lid. Thanks for watching :)

[@lillyanimedeathfire1146]

I live orange!

[@RawBlendAustralia]

We love it too! :)

[@vortexygal5496]

Hi Tommy,is this Vitamix 5200? :)

[@RawBlendAustralia]

Hi Vortexy Gal Thanks for your question. Yes this is the TNC 5200 model :) Thanks for watching!

[@vortexygal5496]

Tommy Nicholas - Raw Blend Thank you for showing us this beauty. :)

[@zeytomlinsun1934]

can you use one massive lemon

[@RawBlendAustralia]

Hi Amber, you may adjust the recipe to suit your tastes. Thanks for watching and happy blending!

[@cjwind]

Fact correction: lemons are considered very acidic with a pH value of 2-3 due to high citric acid content - not alkaline at all.

[@RawBlendAustralia]

Yes in it's natural state it's acidic but once metabolised it becomes alkaline forming. Thanks for watching :)

[@smifnwess93]

Lol the seeds too

[@Rawsan]

2 Oranges 2 Lemons 2 Bananas + some ice

[@Imadeyoumad288]

Rawsan Mati thank you!

[@reecemesser]

Shouldn't have more than one lemon a day

[@deanneadams9852]

Why would you remove the lemon peels? I put the entire lemon in my smoothies, every single day. Your throwing out a powerhouse of nutrition!

[@RawBlendAustralia]

Hi Deanne, we keep as much of the pith on as possible. Some people don't like the skin as they can't get organic and remove waxes properly or they simply don't like the overpowering taste. If you like the taste with the skins on then by all means you can keep doing that :) It's all personal preference! Happy Blending!

[@deanneadams9852]

Yep I only use the peels when organic.....it can be a bit overwhelming the taste but I don't drink it for the enjoyment of it, I like the anti -aging benefits, serious nutrition in those peels! Thanks!

[@liamdonnelly2248]

Can you make it into a ice cream

[@RawBlendAustralia]

Hi Liam Donnelly You could definitely experiment with this :) The rule of ice cream in the Vitamix is 1 part liquid to 3 parts frozen. Thanks for watching and happy blending!

[@sprinlketinkle]

i can do this using my bog standard blender..... lol 😆

[@MooPup09]

use a vege peeler for removal of citrus rind .. you're wasting a lot of pith still with that knife and 80% of VC is in the pith ...

[@RawBlendAustralia]

You know what... we actually couldn't find it that day! hahaha. Don't worry. We put it in the compost and always make sure that we keep the majority of the pith on our citrus :) Happy Blending!

[@ipaintkitchencabinets2069]

Might as well give my kids a snickers bar. BS sugar drink.

[@RawBlendAustralia]

Thanks for watching! That's incorrect advice. I would never give my son a chemical and processed sugar-filled snickers bar over this nutrient-dense, fibre-filled whole food smoothie. There is a big difference between refined and natural sugars, and this is just like eating the whole food, it's not an extracted juice. Happy Blending!

[@davidheymann7741]

You should look into the health benefits of whole lemons and oranges before saying it's the same as a snickers bar...
