A refreshing and creamy Orange Creamsicle Smoothie that combines frozen bananas, fresh orange juice, Greek yogurt, and a hint of vanilla to create a delightful, healthy treat reminiscent of a classic creamsicle dessert.

Ingredients

Fruits

  • 2 medium bananas, sliced and frozen
  • 1 cup freshly squeezed orange juice or high-quality store-bought

Dairy & Alternatives

  • 1/2 cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup milk of choice (almond, oat, dairy, etc.)

Flavorings & Sweeteners

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)

Others

  • 1/2 cup ice cubes

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Equipment: Ensure your blender is clean and ready to use for blending the smoothie ingredients seamlessly.
  2. Combine Ingredients: Add the frozen bananas, orange juice, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, orange zest, sweetener if desired, and milk into the blender container.
  3. Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Optionally, chill your serving glasses in the freezer to keep the smoothie cold longer when served.
  4. Assemble the Dish: Blend all the ingredients until smooth and creamy, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides of the blender for an even texture.
  5. Cook to Perfection: Continue blending until the mixture reaches a silky consistency with no ice chunks remaining.
  6. Finishing Touches: Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness or thickness by adding more sweetener or milk if needed, then give a final blend.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Pour the smoothie into the chilled glasses, garnish if desired, and serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use ripe bananas frozen in advance for natural sweetness and creaminess.
  • The orange zest adds a fresh citrus aroma, enhancing the orange flavor.
  • Adjust the sweetness by adding more honey or maple syrup according to your taste preferences.
  • Milk alternatives like almond or oat milk can be used to make the smoothie dairy-free.
  • For a thicker smoothie, use less milk or add more frozen banana.
  • Chilling the glasses beforehand keeps the smoothie cold longer and adds a refreshing touch.
