Other

Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Peel and seed 2 fresh oranges to ensure a smooth texture without bitterness from the pith or seeds.

Notes
- For a thinner smoothie, use more coconut milk liquid or reduce the ice.
- Honey can be substituted with maple syrup for a vegan option.
- Use fresh oranges for optimal flavor; if using frozen, thaw slightly before blending.
- This smoothie is best served fresh but can be refrigerated briefly and stirred before serving.
- Adjust sweetness by adding more or less honey based on preference.
