You know we love smoothies around here.
Some of my favourite frozen fruit smoothies are this blackberry smoothie and blueberry mango smoothie. And, if I want things even more substantial I’ll have a smoothie bowl.
Did you ever indulge in one of those store-bought orange frozen treats? I loved those as a kid! This drink is kinda like that in smoothie form, but only better!

Tips for Making This Recipe
- The key here is to use frozen orange segments. It gives a thick body to the smoothie, almost like a frozen banana would.
- Real vanilla bean was used here. However, if you don’t have vanilla bean on hand, feel free to use pure vanilla extract.
- Don’t want to use protein powder? Omit it.
- If you don’t want things too sweet, you can skip the maple syrup. Alternatively, if you like things sweeter, add more to taste.
- This fruit smoothie is thick. If you want to thin things out a little, mix in a little more almond milk.
