Orange Creamsicle Smoothie

Ingredients

This simple smoothie is made from easy whole foods:

• Frozen Peaches
• Fresh Orange
• Banana
• Greek Yogurt: I used lowfat vanilla yogurt because it was what I had on hand. To reap the full protein benefits, you'll want to choose a plain or vanilla Greek yogurt. Bonus: it helps make the smoothie thicker, too.
• Orange Juice

Prep a Smoothie Kit

In a pinch, I just used the ingredients as-is but for a super chilled and thick smoothie, you can prep smoothie kits for the freezer:

• Peel and break apart the orange segments.
• Peel and slice the banana.
• Measure the frozen peach slices or peel and slice fresh peaches.

Freeze the fruits together in one bag and you'll be able to just dump the whole kit into the blender.

How to Make It

Add the orange juice and yogurt to your blender first. It is always a good idea to have the liquids on the bottom to help the blender blades.

Add the frozen fruits on top.

Blend until smooth.

Serving Suggestions

A nice protein smoothie is a great breakfast for before a test at school but my kids enjoy them as after school snacks, too.

Sometimes I'll split the smoothie to serve as a smaller breakfast drink alongside a frozen breakfast sandwich or scrambled eggs and vegetables for even more protein.
