Creamy Orange Sunshine Smoothie

Yields: 2 servings | Prep time: 5 minutes

2 large Oranges: Peeled and segmented (remove seeds if necessary).
1 cup Frozen Mango: This provides that thick, velvety texture and enhances the yellow color.
½ cup Greek Yogurt: Plain or vanilla works best for creaminess and a protein boost.
½ cup Almond Milk: Or any milk of your choice to help it blend.
1 tsp Vanilla Extract: The secret ingredient for that “creamsicle” flavor.
1 tbsp Honey or Maple Syrup: Optional, depending on the sweetness of your fruit.
Garnish: Fresh strawberries and orange slices (as seen in your photo).

Prep the Fruit: For the best results, peel your oranges thoroughly, removing as much of the white pith as possible to avoid bitterness. If you want an extra cold smoothie, you can freeze the orange segments for an hour before blending.
Layer the Blender: Add your liquid (milk) first, followed by the yogurt, vanilla, and sweetener. Finally, add the oranges and frozen mango on top.
Blend: Start on a low speed to break up the frozen fruit, then increase to high. Blend for about 45–60 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and no bits of orange pulp remain.
Adjust Consistency: If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash more milk. If you prefer it frostier, add a handful of ice cubes and blend again.
Serve: Pour into two glasses. Slice a strawberry halfway up the middle and perch it on the rim along with a thin orange wheel to match your beautiful picture.

Enjoy your bright, vitamin-C-packed treat!
