My mom came over the other day so we could run an errand together at lunchtime. And—lucky for me—she brought over a bag of oranges from her neighbor’s backyard. Gifts of food is really important in my family. I knew I had to do justice to these citrus beauties. And what better way to do so than to make a special smoothie treat out of them? Enter the Orange Creamsicle Smoothie.
I started with the fruit of honor, and cut off the peel.
Then, I cut them up into slices and froze them.
When they were “frozen enough” (about 1 hour), I pulled them out. Then, I pulled out the other ingredients: vanilla, milk, coconut water, agave. Then I put those oranges into my Vitamix along with all the ingredients, and blended it up.

Notes
The sweetness of the oranges may vary, so try a piece in order to determine how much agave to add. My batch had oranges that were a little tart, so I added 2 tablespoons. You may not need that much.
