Orangewatch Smoothie

The launch of Overwatch is around the corner, and in the days leading up to it, my friends have been dying...namely Fenner. So in the spirit of Overwatch, I decided to make a smoothie - OW colours considered. Drink it ppl, so you don't die before the game launches.

In this smoothie:

-1 frozen ripe banana (sliced)

-1/2 cup of frozen pineapple

-1 cup of frozen mango

-2 oranges (peeled and sliced)

-1/2 cup of orange juice

-1/2 cup of carrot juice

-3 tablespoons of hemp hearts (optional)

-1 tablespoon of fish oil (optional)

-1/2 avocado (optional)

Directions:

Blend all ingredients together until they create an even consistency. Pour into glass, garnish with a slice of orange and voila - an Orangewatch smoothie !

p.s. it is very citrus-y :P
