Creamy Orange Smoothie
Serves 2
For a long time, I’ve tried to recreate the orange smoothie we often grab at the mall, which is Troy’s absolute favourite treat when we’re walking through the food court. I was so excited to finally figure out a recipe that comes very close to that delicious, creamy treat. Take the extra time to chill the serving glasses in the freezer before blending up this sweet treat—there’s just something fun about drinking out of a frosted cup! Add an orange slice as a garnish and enjoy!
2 cups (500 mL) whole (3.25%) milk, or dairy-free milk of choice
½ can (6 ounces/175 mL) frozen orange juice concentrate
1½ tablespoons (22 mL) pure vanilla extract
2 tablespoons (30 mL) pure liquid honey (optional)
2 cups (500 mL) ice cubes
2 orange slices, for garnish
1. Place 2 large glasses in the freezer for at least 30 minutes before serving the smoothie.
2. Add the milk, orange juice concentrate, vanilla, and honey (if using) to a high-speed blender and purée on high until smooth, about 2 minutes.
3. Add the ice cubes and purée again on high until smooth, about 2 minutes. Pour into the chilled glasses, garnish with the orange
slices, and serve immediately.
MH Tip
1. To turn this into a delicious treat for the kids, divide the smoothie among ice pop moulds and freeze before serving.
2. Freeze the remaining orange juice concentrate for your next Creamy Orange Smoothie.
