Sunrise Peach Orange Protein Smoothie
Description
This smoothie recipe includes undrained canned mandarin oranges, peach-flavored Greek yogurt, frozen banana, vanilla protein powder, and frozen peaches blended until smooth. Adjust the texture by adding milk or yogurt to thin or more frozen peaches to thicken. The combination yields a creamy smoothie featuring tangy citrus from the mandarins and sweet stone fruit notes from the peaches and banana.
The protein powder adds a subtle vanilla taste and makes the smoothie more satisfying as a snack or light meal replacement. Using frozen bananas and peaches helps achieve a thick, chilled consistency immediately after blending. Variations can swap canned mandarins for fresh oranges or orange juice, and protein powders may vary by taste.
Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor. The mix of fruit and protein powder supports a balance of refreshing fruitiness and creamy texture, suitable for a nutritious start or post-workout drink.
Ingredients
- 1 (11-ounce) can mandarin oranges undrained
- 1 (5.3 ounce) container Greek yogurt peach or other flavor of choice
- 1 frozen banana
- 2 coops vanilla protein powder optional
- 2 cups peach frozen slices
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a blender and process until smooth. Adjust consistency with milk/yogurt to thin or additional frozen peaches to thicken, if needed.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- Fresh segmented oranges, orange juice, or bottled juice blends can replace canned mandarin oranges depending on availability and preference.
- Frozen bananas provide thickness and creaminess, but fresh bananas can be used with adjustments in frozen peach quantity.
- Protein powder selection impacts flavor and texture; vanilla flavors blend well, while omitting protein powder results in a less creamy smoothie.
