  • Step 4 – If the smoothie is too thick, add more milk or orange juice to reach the desired consistency. If it’s too thin, add more frozen fruit.
  • Step 5 – Pour the Orange Creamsicle Smoothie into two glasses and serve immediately, garnished with an extra sprinkle of orange zest, if desired.

Expert Tips

  • Fruit – While using frozen fruits helps create a thicker, creamier smoothie, you can use fresh fruits if you prefer. However, you may need to add ice cubes to the blender to achieve a similar texture and temperature.
  • Blending Ingredients – Start blending on slow on a high speed blender. Then as the ingredients start to blend increase speed. This helps to prevent the blender from locking up. Check out these 6 Best Blenders Under $100 of 2024 if you are needing a new one.
  • Ice – There is no need to add ice to this smoothie. The frozen fruit will keep the smoothie cold with a creamy texture.
