This Orange Banana smoothie is an easy favorite. I love this flavorful orange juice smoothie to start the morning off, but it is a great refresher any time of day.  This Orange Banana smoothie without yogurt is delicious too!

This orange smoothie recipe makes a wonderful mid-morning or afternoon snack and is so refreshing. Packed with vitamin C too. I love the color of this smoothie because it reminds me of a bright summer day!

Why You Will Love this Fresh Orange Smoothie

Hello Friends! This last weekend I was feeling a bit off, so I enjoyed this easy smoothie recipe with banana for some added nutrients. Sometimes my body lets me know that I have not had enough fruits in my diet, so this is an easy way to add them to my daily intake.

100% Orange Juice had vitamin C and Vitamin C is commonly associated with helping maintain a healthy immune system.

Besides bing an excellent source of Vitamin C, this orange smoothie recipe is delicious and tastes a lot like an Orange Julius.

This weekend we did a little cleaning and organization of closets and gathered a bunch of bags for donating. We also spent some time out at the beach. This time of year is a wonderful time to take in all the relaxing summer vibes.

This smoothie recipe with orange juice makes for a great way to start the day. I like to use the low sugar orange juice to keep the calories down, but you can make it with regular orange juice too. It  is made easily with a few fresh ingredients and so easy to make. It's one of my favorite smoothies.

If you want to change it up, you can add some fresh mango too!

I find smoothies a wonderful way to start the mornings. If you are on Weight Watchers, using a 50% orange juice blend will make this cool drink a total of three points since bananas are zero.

Some of my favorite fresh fruit smoothie recipes are

  • Mango Greens Smoothie - made with spinach and kale, this is my favorite green smoothie.
  • Strawberry Blueberry Smoothie - perfect with fresh berries from the farmers market or grocery store.
  • Berry Cherry Smoothie - this smoothie is made with plain yogurt for added dairy.

 

Try these out and you just may discover your best smoothie recipe. Summer fruits are in the peak of their season right now. You can also use frozen fruit.

If you want, to add protein to this smoothie, you can add plain yogurt. You can also add chia or flax seeds to this recipe for added omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants.

Orange Juice Smoothie Ingredients 

  • 100% Orange Juice or Orange Juice Concentrate - I use the one without added sugar. You can also use juice from fresh oranges.
  • fresh or frozen banana
  • ice

Equipment Needed

  • High powered Blender or Blendtec

Recipe Variations and Substitutions

  • Add a dollop of plain Greek yogurt to add some dairy and a wonderful smooth texture to the drink.
  • Change up the juice to another fruit of your choice.
  • Add ½ teaspoon vanilla extract for a copycat Julius. If you like it sweeter, you can add a little bit of honey, but check the taste for natural sweetness first. 

timesaving tips to streamline recipes

 

  • Freeze peeled bananas ahead of time and keep them in the freezer. Cut the bananas into one-inch slices and keep in a sealed container or baggie. It saves you time and gives an added chill to your smoothie.
  • Use a blender that is easy to clean. My favorite blender is my Blendtec. I have had it for years and it never fails to work without any trouble It also is easy to clean, which I love.
  • Freeze summer fruit now so that you have the fruit ready in the freezer for the future.

    This looks so refreshing! I think I'd add yogurt for protein but either way, I'm in.
    I was feeling off last weekend too!

Hi, I'm Raquel! I am a self-proclaimed foodie and have enjoyed cooking and baking since I was little. I loved baking cookies with my mother and grandma as a child, and later making dinners for my parents to foster my passion while in high school. I also had a passion for organizing and keeping things tidy.
