Orange Smoothies

These refreshing orange creamsicle smoothies taste just like the ice cream bar, but they're healthy enough to serve for breakfast.

If you want to get that icy, milkshake texture, it's best to freeze the mandarin oranges first. But if you're in a hurry, you can use the oranges right out of the can and just add more ice.

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 11 oz. can mandarin oranges in juice
  • 1/2 cup frozen pineapple chunks
  • 1/2 cup vanilla yogurt
  • 1 Tbsp. honey
  • 1 cup vanilla soy milk
  • 1/2 cup ice

Preparation:

  1. Open can of oranges and drain. Place in a zip-top plastic bag and freeze several hours.

  2. Place the frozen oranges and pineapple chunks in the bottom of a blender, Vita Mix, or food processor.

  3. Puree until the mixture reaches the texture of a milkshake. Add more ice, if desired, until an icy consistency is achieved.

Makes 2 servings.
