Orange and Greens Creamsicle Smoothie Recipe

One of my favorite fruits to add into smoothies is oranges! I feel like they are an underrated smoothie add and add such a fresh and bright taste.

Adding the banana and avocado creates this creamy consistency that is reminiscent of the Orange Julius drinks from my childhood. Remember those?!

This combo is great in the Winter to brighten my days, and also a perfect refreshment for Spring or Summer. Here is how you can DO IT:

1 cup water
1/2 of an orange or Sumo Citrus, in slices and frozen
1/2 frozen banana
2 big handfuls of spinach
1 tbsp. chia seeds
1/4 small avocado
2 scoops Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides Protein Powder

Blend everything up in your high speed blender. I use a Vitamix, and I recommend running it for about 10 seconds longer than you think you need to. This will take your smoothie to an ultimate level of creaminess!

Note that I use water and an unflavored protein. I feel that using a nut milk or flavored protein alters the taste of the smoothie. By using water and unflavored collagen the taste of the fruit really shines through! Plus nut milk is expensive. So save your money and try your smoothies with water instead!

CHEERS!!
