Print Recipe

This 4-Ingredient Orange Creamsicle Smoothie is a healthier take on the nostalgic summer treat, combining frozen banana, orange, Greek yogurt, and vanilla for a creamy, refreshing, and protein-packed drink that tastes just like your favorite childhood popsicle.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 frozen banana
  • 1 orange, peeled and segmented
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (or coconut yogurt for dairy-free)
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Ice cubes (optional)
  • Orange segment and vanilla bean for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Gather and prepare all ingredients. If needed, freeze banana slices in advance.
  2. Add frozen banana, orange segments, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract to a blender. Include ice cubes if desired.
  3. Blend on high until smooth and creamy, about 30-60 seconds.
  4. Taste and adjust for sweetness or texture as needed. Add more yogurt, orange, or sweetener to your liking.
  5. Pour into a glass and garnish with orange slice and vanilla bean, if using. Enjoy immediately.

Notes

Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness. For more orange flavor, add a bit of orange zest or a splash of orange juice. To increase protein, add a scoop of vanilla protein powder. For a dairy-free version, use coconut yogurt and a dash of plant milk if needed for blending.
