Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Frozen orange segments peeled, segmented, and frozen overnight or for at least 4 hours
  • 1/2 cup Vanilla Greek yogurt full-fat or low-fat, unsweetened if possible
  • 1/4 cup Milk dairy or non-dairy (almond, soy, oat milk work well)
  • 1/2 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 1-2 tsp Honey or maple syrup optional, to taste
  • 1/4 tsp Orange zest optional, for an extra burst of fresh orange flavor
  • 3-4 Ice cubes optional, for a thicker, colder smoothie

Equipment

  • High-Speed Blender
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Combine the frozen orange segments, vanilla Greek yogurt, milk, vanilla extract, and optional honey or maple syrup in a high-speed blender.
  2. If using, add the optional orange zest to the blender for an enhanced citrus aroma and flavor.
  3. Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the blender with a spatula if necessary to ensure all ingredients are incorporated.
  4. If the smoothie is too thick for your preference, add an additional tablespoon of milk at a time and blend again until the desired consistency is achieved. If you prefer it colder or thicker, add 3-4 ice cubes and blend until smooth.
  5. Taste the smoothie and adjust the sweetness if needed by adding more honey or maple syrup, then blend briefly to combine.
  6. Pour the Orange Creamsicle Smoothie into a glass and serve immediately. Garnish with a small slice of orange or a sprinkle of orange zest, if desired.

Notes

For best results, use oranges that are naturally sweet. If your oranges aren't very sweet, you might want to add a bit more sweetener. You can prepare frozen orange segments ahead of time by peeling and segmenting oranges, then freezing them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper before transferring to an airtight container. This smoothie is best enjoyed fresh. If storing, it may lose some of its creamy texture.
