How To Make Orange Creamsicle Smoothie
- Make sure you have all your ingredients measured and ready. Using fresh orange juice will make a noticeable difference, but if you only have bottled juice, that’s perfectly fine. The Greek yogurt is key to getting that creamy texture without adding too much fat.
- Start by pouring the orange juice and milk into your blender. Then add the Greek yogurt, ice cubes, honey, and vanilla extract. The order helps the blender process everything smoothly without getting stuck.
- Secure the lid and blend on high speed for about 30-45 seconds. You want the smoothie to be completely smooth with no ice chunks left. If it’s too thick, add a little more milk, a tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
- Give your smoothie a quick taste. If you want it sweeter, add a little more honey. For a stronger vanilla flavor, a few more drops of vanilla extract will do the trick. Blend again briefly if you add anything.
- Pour your Orange Creamsicle Smoothie into glasses and enjoy right away for the best texture and flavor. This recipe makes about two servings, perfect for sharing or saving one for later.
Notes
- Use fresh orange juice for the best flavor, but store-bought juice works fine too.
- Swap Greek yogurt and milk with plant-based alternatives for a dairy-free version.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours and stir before drinking.
