Orangesicle Smoothie
Sweet potato, clementine, carrot, and banana create the base of this easy, heathy smoothie that is reminiscent of the old orange sherbet push-up pops. Yum!
Servings: 1 (16-ounce) smoothie
Calories: 297kcal
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsweetened plain almond milk or milk of choice
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1/4 cup vanilla Greek yogurt recommend Siggi brand
- 1/2 cup RAW peeled diced sweet potatoes*
- 1/2 banana, sliced*
- 1 large clementine, in segments* sub: 1/2 an orange
- 1/2 cup RAW sliced carrots*
- Optional: 1-2 scoops unsweetened protein powder
- *The smoothie texture is best if these ingredients are frozen beforehand in a freezer smoothie pack. If you don't have time to freeze them then add a 1/2 cup of crushed ice or more to achieve desired consistency. I like Vital Proteins brand.
Instructions
- Start by adding 1/2 cup almond milk and 1/2 cup orange juice to a high-powered blender. Then, add all the other ingredients.
- Blend until smooth. You may need to stop and stir/shake the blender or add up to 1/2 cup more of almond milk, as needed, to make sure it gets smooth.
Notes
- Because of the sweet potato and carrots, we highly recommend a high powered blender for this smoothie.
- If you like things sweeter, just add a dollop of honey, pure maple syrup, or agave nectar until you get the flavor you desire. You could also add more banana or orange juice.

- If you'd like to add in more protein, feel free to add in a sugar-free, unflavored protein powder or collagen powder. I like Vital Protein Collagen Peptides. You may need to add a little more liquid.
