This delicious vegan orange creamsicle smoothie has only 4 ingredients, and it is ready in just a few minutes! If you prefer a smoothie bowl, this easy Strawberry Smoothie Bowl recipe is also awesome!

Kids will love this easy smoothie recipe. Add protein powder for an extra boost of nutrition! If you love smoothies as much as we do, check out all of my delicious gluten free smoothie recipes.

Why This Recipe is Great:

You will LOVE how easy this vegan smoothie is to make. You only need 4 simple ingredients. We have lots of fresh oranges in our fruit bowl right now.

Add all of the ingredients to your blender and blend on high speed until thick and creamy. For a protein boost, you will want to try this Collagen Protein, it is flavorless and adds a nice creaminess to this smoothie recipe.

If you can find fresh papaya, these Papaya Smoothies are full of tropical flavor!

Ingredient Notes:

creamsicle smoothie ingredients
  • Oranges - Feel free to use any kind of oranges including blood orange or cara cara!
  • Honey - Any honey is good. There is no need to use expensive honey for this smoothie recipe.
  • Optional protein powder - I like to use Orgain, Great Lakes Collagen Protein, or Garden of Life. Always check the labels to make sure the ones you choose are gluten free!
  • Milk - You can use any milk or non-dairy milk. I do not recommend canned coconut milk.

Recipe Step-By-Step Directions:

creamsicle smoothie steps 1 and 2 photos

Step 1: Peel and chop your oranges. Remember to remove any seeds!

Step 2: Depending on how good your blender in, many find it easier to whip the honey into the milk. The honey can stick to the sides of your blender and not mix into the smoothie well.

If you are using a high-powered blender like a Vitamix or NutriBullet, you can add the honey directly with the other ingredients.

Step 3: Add the almond or another non-dairy milk to the blender. Optional: Add a gluten free protein powder or collagen powder for a protein boost!

Step 4: Add some ice cubes. Put the lid on and blend for 45 seconds until blended.

        How much ice and can you reduce the honey measurement

      • Sandi Gaertner

        July 19, 2020 at 10:53 am

        You can use any amount of honey you like I use about a cup of ice. It really depends how thick and frozen you like it. You can use more ice if you like it very frozen.
