Description

To understand why this blended drink is so deeply satisfying, it helps to examine exactly what it brings to your table. At its core, an orange creamsicle smoothie is a blended breakfast or snack drink that replicates the exact flavor experience of the famous ice cream pop but elevates it through the use of whole fruits and protein-packed dairy or plant alternatives. It beautifully marries the sharp, vibrant acidity of fresh citrus with the mellow, comforting sweetness of real vanilla bean notes.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium oranges, peeled and segmented
  • 1 frozen banana
  • ½ cup vanilla Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup milk (dairy or unsweetened almond milk)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 cup ice cubes

Instructions

  • Add the oranges, frozen banana, Greek yogurt, milk, vanilla extract, honey (if using), and ice to a high-speed blender.
