This clementine smoothie is creamy, delicious, and uses ingredients that you probably have on hand. It tastes just like an Orange Julius or a creamsicle!

I think I’m fully and completely in summer mode. I haven’t quite gotten Michigan on board with this whole idea yet, buuuut I’m working on it. A little bird (aka my neighbor who checks the weather religiously) told me that tomorrow is supposed to be warm. 

To help us make our way through the muddle of the never-ending Michigan winter, we’ll bridge the gap with this pretty pale orange smoothie. It is bright and sunshiny to remind us that warmer days are ahead.  But, it makes use of the clementines we’ve been eating all winter long.

I know you have a crate sitting on your counter.

This smoothie uses three of those bright orange flavorful clementines. And then, of course, lots of great vanilla flavor. You already know that vanilla and orange (or clementine) combination is one of my favorites. I’m going for the orange creamsicle flavor here.

Need proof that I’m obsessed?

  • Orange Creamsicle Popcorn
  • Orange Creamsicle Cookie Bars
  • Orange Creamsicle Magic Shell
  • Clementine Vanilla Bean Yogurt Cake
  • Orange Creamsicle Buttercream

And now something you can sip on!

    I had some clementines left so threw 3 in the blender with ice, my almond coconut milk and vanilla Greek yogurt.  Didn’t have vanilla bean but thought it’d be vanilla enough with the yogurt.   The pulp in the Clem’s just wasn’t good even though I blended it throughly.   Wasn’t a strong enough orange flavor for me either.   Since I altered your recipe, it wouldn’t be fair to rate it….unless others also don’t like pulp in their drinks!

      Hi Dia! It could have something to do with your blender. I have a very high speed, powerful blender. Sorry you didn’t love it!
