Ingredients
- 1 ripe banana
- 1 large orange, peeled and segmented (or ½–¾ cup orange juice)
- ½ cup Greek yogurt (or any plain/dairy-free yogurt)
- ½ cup milk (or plant-based milk like almond, oat, or soy)
- ½ cup ice cubes
- Optional: 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
- Optional: 1 tablespoon chia seeds or flaxseeds
- Optional: 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- Optional: Splash of vanilla extract
Instructions
- Peel the banana and orange (if using whole fruit), removing seeds and membranes.
- Add banana, orange (or orange juice), yogurt, and milk to a blender.
- Add ice cubes and any optional sweeteners or boosters.
- Blend until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides as needed.
- Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately while cold and frothy.
Notes
- Use frozen banana or orange segments for a thicker, colder smoothie.
- Swap yogurt and milk with plant-based versions to make it vegan.
- Add spinach for extra nutrients without overpowering the flavor.
- For a dessert-like twist, add a splash of vanilla extract.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 24 hours; stir before drinking.
