Vegan Orange Creamsicle Smoothie
Tastes like a nostalgic orange creamsicle—but it's secretly healthy! Sweet, creamy, and refreshing. Made with just 4 simple ingredients and ready in 5 minutes.
Servings: 2 small smoothies or 1 large
Ingredients
- 2 frozen bananas
- 1 cup orange juice
- 1 cup plant-based milk (such as oat or soy)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until completely smooth and creamy. This may take a minute or two depending on your blender. If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash more plant-based milk to thin it out. Enjoy!
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.
Add Protein Powder: Add a scoop of your favorite vegan vanilla protein powder.
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 Ninja Creami 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.
