  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: 1 serving

Ingredients

Fruits & Vegetables

  • 1 Frozen Banana (sliced into coins, optional)
  • 3/4 cup Frozen Cauliflower
  • 1/2 teaspoon Orange Zest

Liquids

  • 1/2 cup Orange Juice
  • 1/2 cup Non-Dairy Milk (almond milk or any preferred variety)
  • 1/3 cup Full Fat Coconut Milk (canned; light coconut milk can be used)

Flavorings & Supplements

  • 1/2 teaspoon Almond Extract
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 scoop Unflavored Protein Powder or Collagen Peptides

Toppings

  • Whipped Coconut Cream

Instructions

  1. Add Ingredients to Blender: Start by adding all the smoothie ingredients — frozen banana, frozen cauliflower, orange juice, non-dairy milk, coconut milk, almond extract, vanilla extract, protein powder, and orange zest — into a blender.
  2. Blend Until Smooth: Blend all ingredients until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Adjust consistency by adding more ice for a thicker smoothie or more liquids (orange juice, non-dairy milk, or coconut milk) if you prefer it thinner.
  3. Pour and Garnish: Pour the smoothie into a large glass and garnish with your choice of whipped coconut cream or any other preferred toppings.
  4. Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh, creamy, and citrusy flavors of your Orange Creamsicle Protein Smoothie.

Notes

  • Frozen banana helps create a creamy and chilled texture.
  • Cauliflower adds fiber and nutrients without altering the flavor.
  • Using full fat coconut milk enhances creaminess, but light coconut milk can be used for fewer calories.
  • Adjust liquids and ice cubes to control smoothie consistency.
  • Protein powder choice can vary based on dietary needs—unflavored protein or collagen peptides work well.
  • Whipped coconut cream topping is optional but adds a rich finish.
