Ingredients for 5 Minute Orange Smoothie

  • Nonfat Yogurt
  • 1 cup orange juice
  • Ice Cubes

How to Make 5 Minute Orange Smoothie

  1. Combine 1 cup orange juice, 1/2 cup ice, and 1 tablespoon honey (or to taste) in a blender.
  2. Blend until completely smooth and frothy.
  3. Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately! For a thicker smoothie, add more ice or frozen fruit.
  4. Variation: Substitute 1 medium banana, 1 cup of blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, pineapple chunks, or sliced peaches for the orange juice. Adjust sweetness as needed.
  5. For a colder, creamier smoothie, use frozen fruit instead of ice (or in addition to ice).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
