Cinnamon Orange

The Holidays aren't really over yet.  I love the smells of orange and cinnamon combined and thought, why not try that in a smoothie!  Why not, indeed?

Cinnamon Orange Swirl 

1 large orange, peeled and sectioned
1 clementine, peeled and sectioned
1 100g container vanilla Greek yogourt
1 cup Almond milk
2 Tsp Cinnamon
Sweetener (to taste) - I added 1 packet of Sugar Twin
Ice

Absolutely decadent treat which inspired me to create another!!  Watch for it!
