Orange Banana Layered Smoothie
I received compensation from Bayer Consumer Health, makers of MiraLAX® to write this post. MiraLAX® is a laxative used to treat occasional constipation. All opinions are entirely my own. #EaseTheDay #CollectiveBias
Days can be crazy. There’s so much running around, doing for everyone else, basically being the glue that holds it all together. It’s the little things, really, that add up. And as the day keeps going, I need to be able to go with it. Our Orange Banana Layered Smoothie is a great start to the day, and when relief from occasional constipation is needed, MiraLAX® can help.
MiraLAX® is a safe and effective brand you can trust.
Available at Walmart, we picked up a bottle of MiraLAX® as well as MiraLAX® Mix-In Pax®. The MiraLAX® Mix-In Pax are easy to use single serve dose packets of MiraLAX® that are great to keep handy in a purse or glove compartment for those occasions when you need relief from occasional constipation.
MiraLAX® works with your body’s natural process to provide effective relief from occasional constipation. Because it works with the body, MiraLAX® provides a gentle experience, and doesn’t cause harsh side effects. In fact, MiraLAX® is different from stimulant laxatives. Stimulant laxative pills make your body go by forcefully stimulating the nerves in your colon, MiraLAX® instead works with the water in your body to hydrate, soften, and ease, unblocking your system naturally.
So it’s easy to take and easy on your body. Another great way to be good to your body is to start the day off right with our Orange Banana Layered Smoothie.
The extended name for our Orange Banana Layered Smoothie is Orange You Glad We Went Bananas Layered Smoothie and it encompasses the freshness my family craves in the morning. Oranges, bananas, and apple juice combined into a yummy mix, it just goes together.
Our Orange Banana Layered Smoothie starts by blending 3 of the easy peel oranges, or clementines, with 1 cup of water. I go with the easy peel, because my kids love them and we always have them on hand. Pour into a small glass and don’t even bother cleaning out the blender for the next step.
Then, blend one frozen banana with 1 cup of apple juice. Pour onto the top of the orange layer. It’s subtle, but the banana layer is slightly lighter than the orange layer and makes for a beautiful, fresh smoothie that’s a great way to get going. Here’s to keeping up with our crazy days.
