Orange Creamsicle Smoothie
Ingredients
- 2 Frozen Bananas
- 1 C Orange Juice
- 1 C Soy Milk
- 1 T Protein Powder
- ⅓ t Vanilla Extract
Instructions
- Grind bananas in the blender. Add all remaining ingredients to a blender and blend until completely smooth and creamy. This may take a minute or two depending on your blender.
Notes
Banana-free option: Replace the frozen bananas with 1 cup of frozen mango or frozen cauliflower for a creamy texture. You may want to add a little maple syrup or a date for sweetness, depending on your preference.
Extra citrusy twist: Add 1 teaspoon of orange zest for a bolder orange flavor.
Frozen orange juice cubes: For a thicker, more frosty texture, freeze your orange juice in ice cube trays before blending.
Ninja Creami Option: Want to turn this smoothie into a frozen treat? Blend the smoothie as directed, then pour into a pint container to the fill line. Freeze for 24 hours, then spin using the “Lite Ice Cream” or “Smoothie Bowl” setting. If it’s crumbly, add a splash of plant-based milk and re-spin. For extra creaminess, you can optionally add ¼ teaspoon xanthan gum before freezing.
