Ingredients
You’ll only need a few basic ingredients to make this smoothie recipe.
- orange juice
- oranges – such as navel oranges, you could also use clementines or mandarins if preferred. Depending on the choice of oranges, you may want to check for seeds and pull them out before blending. Also, remember that clementines are smaller so you’ll need to add more oranges to replace the amount needed for the recipe.
- fresh mango — fresh is preferred in this recipe, but you can use frozen mango if that’s what you have on hand.
- vanilla extract
- coconut milk – frozen into ice cubes
- frozen bananas, sliced or in chunks
A high speed blender is recommended for this recipe as it will do a much better job at breaking down the pith of the oranges, as well as the coconut ice cubes and frozen bananas.
Instructions
Add the orange juice and the vanilla to the high speed blender.
Peel and cut up oranges and mangoes and add those to the blender.
Add the coconut milk ice cubes and frozen banana to the blender.
Blend for 45-60 seconds to get smooth orange smoothies to serve and enjoy!
🍊 Recipe tips
- To make the coconut milk ice cubes simply freeze coconut milk in an ice cube tray the night before making this recipe. The coconut milk ice cubes were made with silicone ice cube trays that hold 15 ice cubes.
- It is best to slice or chop up the bananas before freezing them, and freeze them for several hours or overnight before making this recipe.
How to store extra or leftover smoothies
It’s best to drink this smoothie right after it’s made to get the best flavor. However, you can freeze this recipe in popsicle molds if you have any leftovers.
