I don’t know about you, but when I get up in the morning, I crave my fruit smoothies. I’ve gotten into the habit of making it a part of my daily routine because there are so many benefits to drinking them. Especially first thing in the morning. When you wake up, your body is in a state of semi-dehydration. Smoothies hydrate your body as well as give you lots of vitamins and minerals.
What ingredients are in an Banana Orange Smoothie?
- Fresh oranges: Using the flesh of fresh oranges adds extra fiber to the smoothie. If you do not have fresh oranges, 1/2 cup of orange juice can be substituted.
- Frozen banana: The frozen bananas give a smooth, creamy texture to smoothies that would normally come from ice cubes.
- Vanilla yogurt: Pick from either non-dairy or regular yogurt. I prefer to use almond yogurt when possible in recipes.
- Milk: Whether you choose non-dairy or regular cow’s milk, either will work in smoothies.
- Sweetener: Sweet Drops Vanilla Creme is my personal preference because it is made from natural stevia leaf and has a vanilla flavor that makes this smoothie tastes like an orange creamsicle pop!
- Fresh grated ginger: Freshly grated ginger is totally optional but I recommend it because it gives this orange smoothie a fresh zing flavor!
How do you make a Banana Orange Smoothie?
This is a simple healthy smoothie that is ready in less than 10 minutes!
Start out by peeling a couple of fresh oranges. Toss them into a high speed blender along with the frozen banana, yogurt, milk, ginger and stevia. Blend on high for about 2 minutes or until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Give it a taste to see if you’d like it sweeter. If so, just add a few more drops of stevia and blend.
Pour it into a large glass and enjoy!

Orange creamsicles are so nostalgic. Makes me think of the Orange Julius store that used to be in the mall…You’re probably too young to remember that! Thanks for stopping by Meg 🙂
