This shockingly simple 5 ingredient slim-down smoothie recipe from Sally (sallysbakingaddiction.com) will make any day feel like summertime. Its the perfect recipe for you to beat the heat at any time of the year…
If you’ve had an Orange Julius drink anywhere previously, or an orange creamsicle popsicle in summer, you’ll get the idea. According to Sally, this simple smoothie recipe was inspired by both favorites – combining the tastes of vanilla and orange in one delicious drink!

Here’s what Sally says about it…
This smoothie is the creamiest of creamy. …if you want a creamy smoothie that is thick enough to eat with a spoon, then frozen banana is your answer.
(Typically smoothie recipes call for ice to thicken the texture, but I find ice waters it down. The frozen banana gets the job done without giving the smoothie a slushy texture.)
Frozen banana turns into a delicious vanilla tasting “soft serve” when blended with vanilla extract and a splash of milk. Instead of milk, however, I use a little orange juice. These three ingredients are the base of your orange creamsicle smoothie. Don’t worry, you can’t really taste the banana under the vanilla and orange.
This creamy, healthy 5 ingredient smoothie tastes like an orange julius and a creamsicle pop combined. Vitamin C has never tasted so good!
