Ingredients:

  • 1 frozen ripe banana, previously peeled & sliced
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 3/4 cup vanilla Greek yogurt
  • 1 orange, peeled and sliced
  • [Optional] 2 teaspoons orange zest

Instructions:

  1. Ensure you have a strong, powerful blender to effectively break down the frozen banana and orange. Recommended options include: Ninja Blender (small), Ninja Blender (regular).
  2. In your blender, combine the frozen banana chunks, vanilla extract, and orange juice. Blend on high until the mixture is thick, creamy, and smooth—about 3 minutes. Be sure to scrape down the sides of the blender as needed.
  3. Add in the vanilla Greek yogurt, sliced orange pieces, and optional orange zest if desired. Blend again until everything is well combined.
  4. Pour into glasses and enjoy immediately!
