If you’re looking for a delicious orange smoothie recipe, this is it! This creamy orange smoothie is made with frozen orange segments, real orange juice and vanilla. Plus, it tastes like a favourite childhood frozen treat in smoothie form!
Today I’m stopping in real quick with this delicious orange smoothie recipe!
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!
What was your favourite childhood treat?
Why We Love This Orange Smoothie Recipe
- It’s made with only 6 ingredients.
- It’s loaded with wholesome, yummy ingredients.
- Like most smoothie recipes, it comes together in minutes. You basically have to put all the ingredients in a blender and mix until smooth.
- Can be enjoyed for breakfast or as a snack.
- Of course, it tastes delicious!
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.

I have been craving oranges this summer so badly and this smoothie just made it to the top of my list to try. It looks so cold and refreshing if I had all the ingredients it would already be blending.

YES! Creamsicles were sooo good! This smoothie looks amazing and so easy to make too. For me, the childhood treat of my dreams had to be Little Debbie brownies though. My mom would never, ever buy them but I would use my birthday money to stash a few boxes away, haha.

The first thing I thought of when I saw this post was the orange/vanilla treats I used to eat as a kid, but I couldn’t remember the name… so glad you mentioned it, Creamsicles!! I have an orange tree that is producing fruit like crazy. This smoothie might be happening in my kitchen soon! I’ll just have to pick some off my tree to stick in the freezer 🙂
