Prep time: 5 minutes | Servings: 2

Ingredients

  • 2 Large Oranges: Peeled and frozen (or fresh with extra ice).

  • 1 cup Greek Yogurt: Plain or vanilla for a creamy protein boost.

  • 1/2 cup Milk of Choice: Oat, almond, or dairy milk work beautifully.

  • 3 tbsp Hemp Seeds: These add healthy fats and a subtle nutty flavor.

  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract: To give it that classic “creamsicle” taste.

  • 1 tbsp Honey or Maple Syrup: Optional, depending on the sweetness of your oranges.

  • 1/2 cup Ice: Only if using fresh oranges to ensure a thick, chilled consistency.

Instructions

  1. Prep the Fruit: If you have time, peel and segment your oranges ahead of time and freeze them for at least two hours. This creates a much thicker, frostier texture without diluting the flavor with too much ice.

  2. Combine: Add the oranges, yogurt, milk, vanilla extract, and sweetener into a high-speed blender.

  3. Add the Power: Pour in the hemp seeds. As seen in your image, keeping a small bowl of them on the side is great for garnishing later!

  4. Blend: Start on a low speed and gradually increase to high. Blend for about 45–60 seconds until the hemp seeds are fully pulverized and the mixture is completely smooth.

  5. Serve: Pour into tall, chilled glasses. Sprinkle a few extra hemp seeds on top for texture and garnish with a fresh orange slice.

Pro Tip

For an even creamier result, add half a frozen banana. It won’t overpower the orange but will add a natural silkiness that pairs perfectly with the citrus. Enjoy!
