One of my favorite ways of drinking orange juice is to mix it with some greens. Spinach and basil have been my favorite. One day I found fresh cactus (nopal) at a farmers market so I decided to throw it in a blender with orange juice, spinach and basil. The result was amazing!
When you blend cactus, it become very formy. I actually like the forminess and taste. Cactus has mild taste but it dilutes the sweetness of orange, and it’s just right to me.
There is no step-by-step instructions today. All you do is throw cactus, basil and spinach as much as you like into a blender and blend!
It’s refreshing and quite filling. I hope you give it a try!
