Add all ingredients to a blender. Purée until smooth.
Taste, and add extra sweetener if desired.

Notes

*ORANGE ZEST: Just to be clear, I recommend zesting the oranges (and adding the zest to your blender) for extra flavor. Then peel your oranges, discard the peels, and add the remaining whole oranges to the blender.

**BLENDER: If you do not have a high-speed blender, I recommend pureeing the oranges first so that you can have a liquid in the base of the blender. Then add the remaining ingredients and puree until smooth.

STRAWS: For anyone interested, I used these gold paper straws in the photos above.
