hCG Diet Dessert Recipes: Orange Smoothie

If you like smoothies for breakfast, complete some preparation the previous evening or even a couple days in advance. You can also use this smoothie recipe for an after-dinner treat. When it comes to hCG diet dessert recipes, having what you need at the right time is another way to stick to the plan.

1. Take one orange. Peel and clean away the maximum amount of white pith. Section the orange and remove seeds. Also take off any loose section membranes that are easy to remove. You may use 2 small mandarin oranges if you prefer to make peeling and sectioning easier.

2. Lay the segments on foil or wax paper and freeze.

3. Put sparkling mineral water into your ice cube tray and freeze.

4. Add the segements, some sparkling ice cubes and a little bit of tap water to the blender. Puree until nearly complete. Add approved sweetener to taste and a few drops of vanilla extract.

5. You may consider adding ½ t of dried milk powder for a smoother beverage and creamier taste.

6. Serve in an attractive glass topped with sprig of mint if you wish.

The Orange Smoothie recipe is very adaptable. You could use a combination of citrus fruits. Ruby Red Grapefruit is quite lovely on a hot summer day. Adding some lemon or lemon juice is actually a diet booster: lemon is a natural diuretic.  All citrus helps remove excess water from the body and lemon does the job best.

Of course, one you have the smoothie combined, another option is making your own ice pops. You probably remember how fun push-up pops or the frozen sleeves were in the summer. Take a chance and play with your food. The easiest way is sticks and paper cups. Freeze, peel and discover that hCG diet dessert recipes can be fun too, not just all grown up.
