Orange Creamsicle Smoothie Bowl

This smoothie bowl is creamy smooth with a hint of vanilla, and has a good amount of protein thanks to the Greek yogurt...and it tastes DELICIOUS!!!

Servings 2 servings

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Orange Juice, frozen into ice cubes (6 cubes)
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt, plain
  • 1 1/2 cups orange slices, peeled & frozen
  • 1 medium banana, frozen and chopped
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 tablespoons white chia seeds* (optional)
  • 1/2 - 2/3 cup additional orange juice (to thin)
  • unsweetened shredded coconut (topping)
  • hemp seeds (topping)

Instructions

  1. The night before (or at least 6 hours before making the smoothie bowl), freeze the orange juice, diced oranges and the banana; I recommend freezing the diced oranges and the banana on a flat baking sheet so that they don't all stick together.

  2. Blend all of the ingredients together in a blender until smooth, slowly adding the additional orange juice as needed to the blender to give it a thick smooth consistency (I used 1/2 cup of orange juice, but you may need a bit more).  I used a Vitamix blender with the tamper to help the ingredients blend smoothly without having to add too much liquid.

  3. Top the smoothie bowl with your favourite toppings: I love using shredded unsweetened coconut and hemp seeds!

Recipe Notes

*You can add chia seeds if you aren't eating the smoothie bowl right away and want to retain the thickness for up to an hour.  Keep the smoothie bowl in the fridge if you aren't going to eat it immediately.
