This delectible breakfast originated from researching things which I did not think would go together. I was so wrong. We had some oranges and bananas in the fridge, as well as some frozen blueberries. I wanted to make smoothie breakfast, but was 100% sure that would be a terrible combination. So I googled orange and blueberry and was so surprised to find out that this is actually a reasonably common flavour combination. Not just in smoothies, but in a variety of contexts. Colour me confused on a Saturday morning. So I decided to change confused into curious and give it a go. Now its your turn.
Ingredients

- 1 orange, peeled and quatered
- 1/2 cup frozen blueberries

Potential Spins
