Ingredients

1 large orange, peeled and segmented

1 cup vanilla yogurt (Greek yogurt for a creamier texture)

1/2 cup coconut milk (or almond milk for a lighter option)

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (adjust based on sweetness preference)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup ice cubes

Optional: 1 tablespoon chia seeds for added nutrition

Instructions

Prepare the Ingredients: Start by peeling and segmenting the orange. If using yogurt, ensure it's at room temperature for easier blending.

Combine Ingredients: In a blender, add the orange segments, vanilla yogurt, coconut milk, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and ice cubes. If you’re using chia seeds, include them as well.

Blend Smoothly: Blend on high speed until the mixture is creamy and smooth. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the blender to ensure everything is well incorporated.

Taste Test: Pause and taste the smoothie. If you desire more sweetness, add a bit more honey or maple syrup and blend again briefly.

Serve: Pour the smoothie into chilled glasses. For an extra touch, you may garnish with a slice of orange or a sprinkle of chia seeds on top.

Enjoy: Sip and savor your vibrant Orange Creamsicle Smoothie!
