This smoothie is amazingly creamy and tastes like the Creamsicle bars I ate growing up, but it’s even better because it doesn’t contain any artificial ingredients or added sugar.

Many orange cream smoothies contain yogurt for creaminess, but I’ve found that using a frozen banana and almond milk will make a smoothie just as creamy.

This quick and easy orange creamsicle smoothie recipe is bursting with the flavor of real oranges and has such a creamy texture that you’d never know it was vegan.

It’s refreshing and delicious, and I can guarantee you’ll want to make it over and over again. 🙂

Why you’ll love this recipe

  • You need just 3 basic ingredients to make an orange creamsicle-flavored smoothie.
  • The smoothie is ultra creamy thanks to the combination of frozen banana and almond milk.

  • Every sip is bursting with fresh orange flavor, which tastes like sunshine in a glass!

Recipe ingredients

Since you need so few ingredients to prepare the orange creamsicle smoothie, it’s important that you use the right ones.

  • Oranges. I use Cuties in my smoothies because I always have a bowl full of those easy-peel mandarins on my counter, but you can use regular oranges as well. Do not use orange juice or orange juice concentrate.
  • Banana. I suggest using frozen bananas in your smoothie because it results in a thick, frosty smoothie. Simply peel your overripe bananas, place them in a zip top bag, and freeze for smoothie making.
  • Almond milk. I used unsweetened vanilla almond milk to enhance the creamsicle flavor, but you can use a protein nut milk for an added protein boost.

See the recipe card below for the full list of ingredients and quantities.

How to make this smoothie

I used my trusty high powered blender to make this smoothie recipe, but any blender will work.

Pro tip: When you’re making a smoothie, remember to add the liquid first, fresh ingredients next, and frozen last. This will keep your ingredients moving in the blender!

See the recipe card below for full instructions.

  1. Add the ingredients to your blender in this order: almond milk, oranges, banana.
  2. Blend until smooth.
  3. Divide between four glasses and enjoy!

Recipe FAQs

How can I make this smoothie thicker?

1 1/2 cups of almond milk was just enough liquid to keep the ingredients moving freely in the blender and gave the smoothie just the right amount of thickness for me. If you like your smoothies thicker, start by adding 1 cup of almond milk and add more as needed. 

How can I make this smoothie thinner?

If you like a thinner orange cream smoothie, you may add more almond milk than the recipe calls for or use a fresh banana instead of frozen.

Can the fresh orange be replaced with orange juice?

No, if you replace the orange segments with bottled orange juice, your smoothie will be far too runny and the flavor won’t taste as fresh.

Recipe notes

  • Pro tip: Prep your smoothie ingredients ahead of time to speed things up even more. Chop your banana and pop it in the freezer, then peel your orange(s), separate the slices and remove some of the excess pith.
  • I normally divide this smoothie into 4 smaller servings, but you can definitely divide it into 2 larger servings as well. The choice is yours!
  • Your smoothie will only be as sweet as your fruit, so feel free to add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup if your banana isn’t fully ripe.
