What is an Orange Creamsicle?

The orange creamsicle is a liquid recreation of the popular frozen treat which combines vodka, orange juice or soda, and cream. This version is a healthy twist on this summer classic with fresh orange juice, coconut milk, coconut yogurt, and some hidden cauliflower for extra veggies and creaminess.

The Ingredients for a Healthy Orange Creamsicle Smoothie

  • Cauliflower. This is a secret ingredient for making the smoothie creamy without banana, and adding hidden veggies! You’ll steam fresh cauliflower first, allow it to cool, and then freeze it. This makes cauliflower easier to digest than fresh cauliflower.
  • Peaches. Peaches are lower in sugar than bananas and add a neutral flavor so the orange can shine.
  • Yogurt. I like to use Culina brand coconut yogurt.
  • Fresh orange juice and coconut milk. Coconut milk helps to make the smoothie a bit creamier. You can also use almond milk.
  • Vanilla and honey. This adds some added sweetness and richness.
  • Coconut whipped cream. You can buy versions of this or make it yourself.

You can add more peaches instead of yogurt, though it will be less creamy.
