Tangerine/Mango Smoothie and Juicer and Orange Giveaway!!!
We have a wonderful Breville Juicer, that is easy to use and great for a variety of fruit and vegetable smoothies. As far as appliances go I have always been a fan of Breville its an Australian company with great classy and very functional appliances. I have an espresso machine and panini maker and now a juicer! There's a wonderful website called FoodThinkers.com by Breville and I contribute to the healthy snack column, its so much fun. I love making fresh juice for Jasmine and us I must confess though its easier to make a whole batch for a couple of days.
A few days ago, I made a simple tangerine and mango smoothie. Not just any tangerine I ordered them from The Orange Shop in Florida, they ship fresh citrus from the groove. The owner Pete has been a citrus grower his whole life and The Orange Shop has been in business since 1936.
Fresh Juices are packed with nutrients the mango and tangerine juice provided more than a days requirement for vitamin C, potassium, B6 and folate. I recommend buying al natural juices not juice drinks which are often marketed as healthy but loaded with sugar and only a small percentage of fresh juice.
You simple peel the tangerines or oranges and blend, simple as that!
and out comes the delicious juice
So I figured what would be cooler than getting a box of oranges with a juicer as a giveaway!, The Orange Shop has kindly agreed to send the oranges and Breville has sent me this juicer to re send to the lucky winner.
Rules:
- live in the US so so sorry but the juicer is going to be expensive to ship and the fruit wouldn't do well going over sea's
- Consider following @FoodThinkers (they tweet really cool foodie stuff) and @TheOrangeShop (for all things citrus!)
- Leave a comment telling us what citrus you would like to try from http://www.floridaorangeshop.com/
- I will pick a winner at random and announce it next friday April 23rd
Good Luck!!
i'm a huge fan of blood orange juice (especially blood orangina). if i could make my own juices that would be amazing.
ReplyDeleteLOL! I was just writing about orange juice too! This looks like a great giveaway. There's nothing that matches fresh orange juice!
ReplyDeleteWe love tangerianes here. Lately we are eating those cutie mandrin oranges. That juicer would help me get over this head cold f my son wouldn't drink all the juice. lol
ReplyDeleteI'd love to gift this to a niece who lives in the US.
ReplyDeleteWow! I'm loving the Indian River Grapefruit.
ReplyDeleteThat smoothie looks so good! I just love mangos - they are delicious. If I had to try some fabulous citrus from floridaorangeshop.com (twist, twist) it would have to be the honey tangerines - yummy!
ReplyDeleteI wish I can have a glass of this orange juice, look so refreshing. And hope your next giveaway will open to all readers. Thanks in advance.
ReplyDeleteI am thinking the ruby grapefruit would be refreshing! Yummmmmmmmm!
ReplyDeleteHey New here... wud like to say I love orange juice ne time... nd lovely lukinh smoothie
ReplyDeleteMy brother gift me a juicer last X'mas! It was fantastic! Now, I can enjoy fresh fruit juice with my family anytime I want.
ReplyDeleteAwesome giveaway. I have a Breville electric juicer and just love it--it's a great brand. Tangerines and blood oranges are my favorite citrus juices.
ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway! I wish I could participate anyway best of luck to all. A glass of fresh orange juice is just unbeatable!
ReplyDeleteI love freshly made juices....so full of nutrients and delicious. That's a great giveaway but too bad I'm not in the States.
ReplyDeleteCan I join in? Love to have this to my best friend J in Seattle. ;DD
ReplyDeleteI am entering on behalf of my US self and address, pretty please. The Indian River Grapefruit looks so good. I love grapefruit and now that i think about it I do not think I have seen any in a while.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite juice and citrus fruit of the moment is grapefruit and I hate all the sugar that is in most storebought varieties! I would love to try some of their ruby reds.
ReplyDeleteHubs and I like the ruby red grapefruits. We do not have a juicer and would love to try using one. Hubs has grapefruit or cranberry juice each morning before starting his day.
ReplyDeleteNice giveaway, Rebecca! Although I don't think you better enter me...I have a juicer AND access to all the oranges I want so this would be a fab gift for someone who doesn't.
ReplyDeleteI still have a problem loading some sort of script, but the computer asks me if I want to stop running it and if I say yes, your site loads. Very strange, but at least I can read you now!
Computers are so annoying, am I right? I had a problem for 6 months with URL's to my old recipes. Finally figured it out with the help of my computer guru.
A refreshing combination of flavours! By the way, have you changed the look of your blog? I'm detecting something a little different but can't quite put my finger on it...
ReplyDeleteSmoothie looks yum rebecca...and what a lovely giveaway but sad i dont live in US....
ReplyDeleteI'd love to try the valencia oranges! We've been eating a LOT of clementines here...and I've never had a juicer before!
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful juicer, I'll come and pick it up if I win lol. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteWell considering this is the second thing I've seen about juicing I am thinking I really need to dig my old creaky juicer out of the junk room ... or better yet, try to win this one! lol
ReplyDeleteI'm so lucky I'll be in Los Angeles till the end of April! So I'm definetly participating!
ReplyDeleteI see it's the season for Honey tangerines, Valencia oranges and ruby rd grapefruit, so I'll pick the first ones as my favorite.
Honey Tangerines sound really good to me. Thanks for the giveaway.

Oh, my! Citrus fruit is a weakness of mine, and oranges are at the top of that list. I ate so many at my grandmother's when I was a kid, that I literally turned orange. Mom thought I might have "yellow jaundice" - back in the day! LOL! Would love to win the juicer and some great Florida oranges. LOVE THE BLOG!
