Description

This Orange Creamsicle Smoothie is a creamy, dreamy blend that tastes just like the classic summer treat but with a healthy twist. Packed with fresh orange flavor, creamy yogurt, and a hint of vanilla, this smoothie is refreshing, nutritious, and perfect for breakfast, a snack, or even dessert. Plus, it’s quick and easy to make!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large orange (peeled and segmented, or 1/2 cup of 100% orange juice)
  • 1/2 cup of plain Greek yogurt (or vanilla yogurt for extra sweetness)
  • 1/2 cup of unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
  • 1/2 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 frozen banana (for creaminess and natural sweetness)
  • 1/2 cup of ice cubes
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon of honey or maple syrup (for added sweetness)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients
    Peel and segment the orange, removing any seeds. If using orange juice, measure out 1/2 cup.
  2. Blend
    Add the orange segments (or orange juice), Greek yogurt, almond milk, vanilla extract, frozen banana, and ice cubes to a high-speed blender. Blend on high until smooth and creamy.
  3. Taste and Adjust
    Taste the smoothie and add honey or maple syrup if desired for extra sweetness. Blend again briefly to combine.
  4. Serve and Enjoy
    Pour the smoothie into a glass and serve immediately. Garnish with an orange slice or a sprinkle of orange zest for a fun touch.

Notes

  1. Boost the Creaminess: For an even creamier texture, use frozen orange segments instead of fresh ones.
  2. Make It Dairy-Free: Substitute the Greek yogurt with a dairy-free alternative like coconut yogurt.
  3. Add Protein: Add a scoop of vanilla protein powder for a protein-packed version.
