    Favorite ingredients

    Fresh oranges: The star ingredient of an orange juice smoothie is, of course, the natural orange juice. When you are in the store to pick up oranges, pick the ones that are ripe and quality. Remember that the best oranges for orange juice smoothies are typically ripe, sweet, and juicy. They will ensure that your smoothie is bursting with flavor!

    ingredients

    Frozen banana: To add thickness and a frosty chill, consider including a frozen banana in your Orange Juice Smoothie. It's a great way to make your smoothie ice-cold, adding a natural sweetness to your drink.

    Half an apple: Apples add a pleasant, slightly tart flavor to the smoothie. Their creamy and thick consistency makes the orange juice smoothie more satisfying and filling. Make sure to peel and core them to remove any seeds or inedible parts. You can use any apple variety, such as Granny Smith, Gala, or Fuji. I used Fuji apple in this recipe.

    Almond milk: To achieve the perfect texture and consistency, use almond milk or any dairy-free milk as your dairy-free base, such as coconut milk, soy milk, or oat milk. All these options provide a creamy, nutty flavor that pairs well with the orange juice smoothie.

    Ice cubes: Ice cubes make the smoothie cold and refreshing. More importantly, it can provide the perfect consistency and give the smoothie a slushy and frosty quality that many people enjoy. You can always adjust the number of ice cubes to suit the specific texture you desire for your orange juice smoothie.

    Honey: to taste. Feel free to use your favorite sweeter. It is optional. If you desire a little extra sweetness, you can add a touch of natural sweeteners like maple syrup or a drop of vanilla extract. 

    Instructions for creating a fresh orange juice smoothie recipe

    Creating this delicious smoothie is easy. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you make one:

    Gather the ingredients and make sure you have all the ingredients and your blender ready to go.

    Wash the fresh oranges first, then peel the oranges and set aside. 

    Peel the ripe banana and break it into a few smaller pieces. Wash, peel, and core the apple. Remove any seeds or inedible parts.

    ingredients inside blender

    Place the fresh orange pieces, apple pieces, banana pieces, almond milk, ice cubes, and honey (if using) into the high-powered blender. Blend all the ingredients until they are smooth and creamy. 

    Taste the smoothie and adjust the sweetness or thickness as needed. Once you're satisfied with the smoothie's taste and consistency, pour it into a glass or to-go cup.

    A variety of flavors and customization

    Orange juice smoothies offer a delightful combination of citrusy flavors and versatility. Here are several varieties of orange juice smoothies to try: You can create a tropical smoothie by adding mango, strawberry, and pineapple, or make a refreshing green smoothie by including spinach or kale.

    Tips for the best results

    Creating the perfect orange juice smoothie requires a few tips to achieve the best results. Here are some suggestions to help you make a delicious orange juice smoothie:

    whole blender with smoothie
    • Chill ingredients: For a colder and more refreshing smoothie, chill your oranges and any other ingredients that can be refrigerated before blending.
    • Use fresh oranges: Whenever possible, use fresh oranges for your smoothie. However, if you use store-bought juice, choose 100% pure orange juice without added sugar.
    • Fruit smoothies have the best consistency right after blending. They are smooth, creamy, and well-mixed. Over time, some separation or settling may occur, and the texture can change. So enjoy your orange juice smoothie as soon as it is made. 🙂
    • If you prefer a thicker smoothie, you can add a little bit of Greek yogurt to your smoothie if you want. It usually makes smoothies thicker.
