Recipe Variations

Smoothie bowls to me are great because I can totally make it the way a small little child wants! Just swap a few of the ingredients and you have multiple orange cream smoothies to enjoy. Get creative with it by tweaking the recipe, here are a few of my ideas:

•  Orange breakfast smoothie: A great way to start the day, filling if you use the suggested protein light bluring (using nut butter or silken tofu) and will give reference all morning. Replace the cream or yogurt with Greek Yogurt and add 1/4 cup oats. The oats add more fiber and substance to this smoothie making it a meal! Option to add a tablespoon of chia seeds for omega-3s and protein.

•  Cream Pop Smoothie: Add a few frozen pineapple or mango chunks for some tropical realness TO LICIOUS! And with the orange adding that zestiness, they are a perfect match for these two fruits, transporting you to an exotic island…in your dreams. To boost the tropical even more, try substituting coconut extract for vanilla.

• For Kids Smoothies: If you happen to be preparing this smoothie for your kids, make it an amusing one instead by including 1-2 tbsp of whipped cream as well a colorful sprinkle on top. If you want it to be very thick more like ice-cream so kids love using frozen oranges segments instead of fresh. This is a brilliant way of getting them to drink something full if fruit.

•  Low Calorie Orange Cream Smoothie: Need help curbing that sweet tooth? Instead of cream, use unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk; and for these coffee recipes, skip the honey/sugar and try a Fresno sweetener like stevia or monk fruit. Only 110 calories and 38 grams of sugar per serving after this modification!
