Creamsicle Smoothie

the80srule's Note:

An old classic I tried to make a tad healthier. If you're going to say "Screw it!" skip the sugar and vanilla and use some ice cream instead. Either way, it's quite yummy and a simple treat to whip up on a hot day.

Very yummy way to start the day! I would like to try this again with just OJ and that fabulous french vanilla yogurt from Trader Joe's and see how that turns out. I cut the recipe in half and had enough for a nice glass for me and made the rest into 4 popsicles for the preschooler of the house. THANKS for sharing.

Creamy, smooth, delicious and delicious. What else is there to say except: Try it, you'll like! :D

Absolutely delicious. I used the very best ingredients for this. I freshly squeezed oranges that were not looking pretty anymore but were very juicy. I used Balkan (thick) yogurt, vanilla paste to be alcohol free and honey rather than sugar to be healthier. I did not add any ice as I need to buy an ice cube tray but my ingredients were cold. I would make this again. Made for Veggie Swap 23.
