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:
- 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 an 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:
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.

Can I substitute 4 small oranges for two big oranges?
Sandi Gaertner
Hi Gloria, this is totally fine 🙂

How much ice and can you reduce the honey measurement
Sandi Gaertner
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.
