Orange Smoothie
Here’s how to get started on making your own Orange Smoothie:
Ingredients
- 2 large oranges, peeled and segmented
- 1 cup of plain or vanilla yogurt
- 1 banana (optional for extra creaminess)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional for sweetness)
- 1/2 cup of ice cubes
- 1/2 cup of orange juice
Instructions
- Start by preparing your ingredients. Peel the oranges and segment them, removing any seeds if necessary. If you’re adding a banana, peel and slice it.
- In a blender, combine the orange segments, yogurt, banana (if using), honey or maple syrup, ice cubes, and orange juice.
- Blend on high speed until all ingredients are smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick for your liking, you can add a bit more orange juice to reach your desired consistency.
- Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness if needed by adding more honey or syrup. Blend again briefly to mix.
- Once blended, pour the smoothie into chilled glasses. You can garnish with a slice of orange on the rim for a cute touch.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing orange smoothie!
