Healing Banana-Orange Creamsicle Smoothie

Healing Banana-Orange Creamsicle Smoothie

As a kid I remember I always hated anything orange flavored (and actually still do to this day), but for some reason I could never pass up an orange creamsicle, especially in the summer. There’s just something about that bright orange, tangy, yet sweet outside coating with the smooth and creamy vanilla ice cream center.

Recreating One of My Favorite Childhood Summer Treats

I love experimenting with different smoothie flavors in the summer because they always taste so good on a hot day, so I decided to come up with one that reminded me of licking one of those oh so tasty creamsicles. Boy, did I hit the jackpot! I have to say this smoothie is definitely one of my new favorites. I immediately went back to the store to buy more oranges so I could keep making them!

Packs a Nutritional Punch

Even though this smoothie tastes like one of those dreamy creamsicles, it definitely does not compare to the nutritional value! Unlike popsicles that are filled with refined sugar and artificial colors and flavors, this smoothie has no added sugar and contains healthy fats and protein! Plus, the collagen powder can help support healthy skin, hair, and nails, repair joints, help heal leaky gut, balance hormones, boost metabolism, energy, and mood, and supports detoxification. It’s like a miracle powder, and you can’t taste it, so it’s easy to add to anything and everything!

A Delicious Treat

So the next you’re craving one of those creamsicles on a hot day, give this smoothie recipe a try! I promise it’s just as creamy and delicious 🙂
