Ingredients
  

Smoothie Base
  • 1 cup Fresh Orange Juice Freshly squeezed oranges maximize flavor and vitamin C content.
  • 1 cup Vanilla Yogurt Creaminess and protein boost; substitute with coconut yogurt for a dairy-free option.
  • 1 medium Frozen Banana Natural sweetener and thickener; ensure it's ripe and well-frozen for best consistency.
  • 1/2 cup Milk Adjusts thickness; any type will work, but almond or oat milk are great non-dairy choices.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Adds depth; optional but enhances the overall sweetness.
Optional Add-ins
  • 1 tablespoon Honey or Maple Syrup For an extra touch of sweetness, adjust to your liking.
  • 1 cup Ice Cubes Make it thicker and colder for a refreshing treat.
  • 1 tablespoon Chia Seeds or Flaxseeds Boosts nutrition; a simple way to add fiber and omega-3s.
  • 1 cup Spinach Blend in for extra vitamins without altering the taste significantly.

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Gather all your ingredients for the Creamy Orange Dreamsicle Smoothie, including freshly squeezed orange juice, vanilla yogurt, a ripe frozen banana, milk of your choice, and optional vanilla extract.
  2. In your blender, combine the freshly squeezed orange juice, creamy vanilla yogurt, and the frozen banana. Blend on high speed for 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
  3. If the mixture is thicker than you like, slowly add more milk—about a tablespoon at a time—while blending until you reach the desired consistency.
  4. Pour the smoothie into glasses, garnishing each with a slice of orange or a sprig of fresh mint before serving.
