Orange Juice Smoothie

Orange Juice Smoothie

The classic “Orange Julius” drink originated in Los Angeles in the 1920s. Here’s a version that brings together frozen banana, fresh orange juice, your choice of milk or yogurt, and a little vanilla for a sweet, refreshing flavor.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh orange juice (4 medium oranges)
  • 1 frozen banana
  • ¼ cup plant-based milk (or yogurt)
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

  1. Peel oranges and juice.

  2. Add juice to a blender with banana, milk, and vanilla.

  3. Blend until smooth, about 45-60 seconds, and enjoy!

Note

Use Greek yogurt to add about 7 grams of protein to this smoothie (equivalent to one egg) or to keep it vegan and creamy with coconut milk or yogurt.Make it green by adding a handful of spinach or frozen zucchini.Try juicing tangerines, clementines, or satsuma for an even sweeter taste.
