Orange Banana Smoothie
The Orange Banana Smoothie blends frozen banana, peeled navel orange, vanilla protein powder, and dairy-free milk into a creamy, fruity drink. The protein powder adds texture and nutrition while optional ice adjusts the consistency for a refreshing beverage. This smoothie highlights citrus and sweet banana flavors with a smooth, easy-to-drink texture.
Ingredients
- 1 banana chopped into chunks, frozen
- 1 navel orange peeled and segmented
- 1 coop protein powder I used Nuzest, vanilla or natural
- 1/2 -1 cup milk (I like unsweetened almond or coconut milk)
- handful of ice (optional)
Instructions
- Blend: Add banana, orange, vanilla protein powder, and milk (starting with 1/2 cup milk) into a high powered blender and blend until smooth.
- Taste: You can add more milk into the blender if the smoothie seems too thick. You can also add ice if you want the texture to be more slushy.
- Serve: Once the consistency is perfect, pour into a glass and enjoy.
Notes
- Optional add-ins include 1 teaspoon chia seeds and/or 1 tablespoon coconut flakes for healthy fats and texture.
- Protein powder can be omitted if preferred, keeping the smoothie simpler.
