The refreshing smoothie is quick and delicious to make. It’s high in protein, made from real-food ingredients, and tastes just like an Orange Julius creamsicle smoothie.

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon orange zest, optional
  • 1 large orange, peeled
  • 1 medium banana, frozen 
  • ½ cup frozen cauliflower rice
  • 1 small carrot, peeled and cut into 3-4 pieces 
  • ½ cup milk of choice
  • 1 (4.4-ounce) carton full-fat vanilla Greek yogurt 
  • 1 scoop Puori vanilla whey protein powder
  • 2 tablespoons hemp hearts

Instructions

  1. To a high-speed blender, add all of the ingredients. 
  2. Cover and blend until smooth. If needed, add additional milk or water, 2-3 tablespoons at a time, to achieve your desired consistency. 
  3. Divide the smoothie into two glasses. Serve immediately.

Notes

The orange zest is optional, but I highly recommend it for adding a bright and delicious orange flavor. 

Remove as much of the peel and white pith from the orange as possible. 

½ cup ice may be used in place of the frozen cauliflower rice, but the cauliflower rice gives the smoothie a more smooth and creamy texture, as well as more nutrition.
