“Stress Buster” Orange Smoothie

“Stress Buster” Orange Smoothie Recipe

PREP TIME:  5 mins      TOTAL TIME:  5 mins

Serves: 2 smoothies

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 ripe bananas, peeled and cut into 1 inch pieces ( frozen for at least 2 hours)
• 1 cup orange juice
• 1 orange, peeled and cut up into chunks
• ¾ cup almond milk (or low-fat)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 carrot, peeled and cut up into 1 inch pieces
• Ice (if you are not using frozen bananas you will want to add a few cubes of ice)

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend to combine. (If your blender has a smoothie/frozen drinks setting use that)
2. Frozen bananas add a layer of creaminess to this smoothie, so if you have time, I recommend freezing for at least 2 hours or overnight. If not, you’ll want to add a few cubes of ice to this smoothie.
3. * for a fun twist and a different taste, omit the carrot…tastes just like an Orange Julius (which tastes just like a creamsicle)
