Ingredients

1 large orange, peeled and segmented

1/2 cup vanilla yogurt (greek or regular)

1/2 cup orange juice (freshly squeezed for best flavor)

1/2 banana, frozen

1/2 cup ice cubes

1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup (optional, adjust for sweetness)

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Zest of 1 small orange (for extra zing)

Whipped cream (for topping, optional)

Orange slices and mint leaves (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

Prepare Ingredients: Start by peeling and segmenting the orange. If you haven't done so already, freeze half a banana for the smoothie. Gather all your ingredients and equipment.

Blend the Base: In a blender, combine the orange segments, vanilla yogurt, orange juice, frozen banana, ice cubes, honey (if using), vanilla extract, and orange zest.

Blend Until Smooth: Secure the lid on your blender and blend on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Depending on your blender, this might take about 30 seconds to 1 minute.

Taste Test: Stop the blender and taste the mixture. If you prefer it sweeter, add more honey or agave syrup and blend again for a few seconds.

Serve: Pour the smoothie into chilled glasses. If desired, top each serving with a swirl of whipped cream.

Garnish: Add a slice of orange on the rim of the glass and a sprig of mint for a refreshing touch.

Enjoy: Serve immediately, and enjoy your refreshing Sunshine Orange Creamsicle Smoothie!
