Sunrise Peach Orange Protein Smoothie
Ingredients
- 1 (11-ounce) can mandarin oranges, undrained (see note)
- 1 (5.3 ounce) container peach Greek yogurt (or other flavor of choice)
- 1 frozen banana (see note)
- 2 scoops vanilla protein powder (optional - see note)
- 2 cups frozen peach slices
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a blender and process until smooth. Adjust consistency with milk/yogurt to thin or additional frozen peaches to thicken, if needed.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
Oranges: you can replace the canned mandarin oranges with fresh segmented orange slices, orange juice, or a bottled juice blend (the Naked brand orange-mango flavor is my favorite and is delicious in this smoothie). Banana: if you don't have frozen bananas on hand, a fresh banana will do. You may need/want to increase the frozen peaches for consistency. Protein Powder: brands of protein powder vary greatly in terms of taste/quality. Clean Simple Eats vanilla protein powder is my favorite. I also use Vital Proteins collagen peptides (or a combination). You can easily omit the protein powder - the smoothie may be less creamy if doing so.
