Why You’ll Love this Vegan Orange Creamsicle Recipe!

Smoothies are a yummy way to get instant relief from the sweltering summer heat. This cool, creamy treat is bursting with citrus flavors made with nothing but the best nature has to offer. Not only is this orange creamsicle smoothie the perfect summer refreshment to celebrate National Creamsicle Day (or any summer day!), but it’s an easy way to enjoy a serving of fresh fruit!

Oranges are great because they are packed with sweet and tangy pulp, hydrating, and loaded with vitamin C and fiber. I used fresh oranges for the creamy smoothie and doubled up the fun with an Orange n’ Cream GoodPop dipped into it because, why not? GoodPop creamsicles are delicious frozen treats made with clean, plant-based, organic, and responsibly sourced ingredients. I love that these Cleaned-up Classics are guaranteed not to contain HFCS, GMOs, refined sugar, or sugar alcohol sweeteners. So, this Orange Creamsicle Smoothie does not only taste amazing, but it is also healthy, too!

Ingredients for an Orange Creamsicle Smoothie

ingredients for Orange Creamsicle Smoothie against a light background

Oranges: Peeled and sliced. I like to get a sweeter variety like Valencia or Cara Cara. However, you can use whatever you find and just add more sweeteners if needed.
GoodPop creamsicles: I used oranges and cream for this smoothie recipe, but feel free to try out their delectable selection of flavors.
Vanilla soymilk: To give the smoothie a richer taste and creamy consistency. You can use plain soy milk or any other plant milk if that is what you have on hand. Just splash a bit more vanilla extract, if needed.
Agave: To sweeten things up! You can also use maple or coconut syrup.
Vanilla extract: Adds a delicate flavor and aroma.
Ice

Optional Ingredients

Banana: I urge you to add this, if you can. It will give the smoothie a thicker and creamier texture while adding loads of natural sweetness. I always keep frozen bananas for smoothie emergencies. They keep for 6 months!
Vanilla vegan yogurt: For layering.
Orange slices: For garnishing.

How to Make an Orange Creamsicle Smoothie Vegan

Step 1: Flash-freeze the fruits. First, place orange slices and banana (if using) in the freezer for 20 minutes.

Step 2: Once the fruit is mostly frozen, add them to a blender with the ice, soymilk, agave, and vanilla. Then blend until smooth and creamy.

Step 3: Assemble smoothie by pouring ½ cup of plant-based vanilla yogurt into a glass, followed by the orange smoothie, filling about ½ inch away from the top of the glass. Finally, garnish with an orange slice and GoodPop creamsicle. Repeat with a second glass. Enjoy immediately.

Toni’s Recipe Tips for Creamsicle Smoothie

Adjust consistency: If your smoothie is too thick, add more plant-based milk or water until you are satisfied with the consistency.
Coconut Cream: If you are not using bananas, make this using coconut cream instead to achieve the same level of thickness.
Use smaller ice cubes. This will allow you to blend easier without overdoing it.
Sweeten: If your oranges are not sweet enough and you opted out of using frozen bananas, add more agave or sweetener.

Option Add-Ons

Sneak in some veggies! You can make this even healthier by adding vegetables like cauliflower, zucchini, or carrots. You or your kids won’t even notice them!
Chia seeds are a great addition to smoothies, especially if you want to feel fuller longer. This superfood will add more volume to your smoothie without affecting the flavors.
Protein powder is a great addition, especially if you are making this as part of your post-workout routine.
Other fruits like mangoes, melon, and different types of citruses would be best for this smoothie recipe. However, feel free to experiment with other fruits that are in season.
