Original Orange “Dream” Smoothie Recipe

Ingredients:

2 medium oranges, any variety, supremed and frozen*

1/2 C milk**

1/4 C plain plain yogurt***

1 T honey

Instructions:

Wash and dry oranges before supreming. Freeze for 2-4 hours

Put frozen orange slices, milk, yogurt and honey into blender, food processor or bullet.

Blend until smooth. Serve immediately or freeze and re-blend just before serving.

Chef Tip:

*Freezing the supremed orange slices replaces having to use ice cubes, which means no diluting of taste.

**Cow’s milk is the type used in the original recipe, but any type of milk, cow, goat, sheep, almond, oat, etc. may be used - realizing the taste will vary depending on your choice of milk.

*** Plain greek yogurt adds a tangy taste, but regular plain yogurt works equally well.

As is, this recipe though delicious, is just a little “quick-burning” due to fruit + honey. A few small tweaks, however, can turn it into a slower burning treat for steadier blood sugar rates while enjoying a treat.

Our Flavor First Refined Recipe

Frozen Orange Cream (Blood Sugar–Friendly Option)

• 2 medium oranges, supremed & frozen

• ½ cup milk (or unsweetened almond milk)

• ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt

• 1–2 tsp honey (or preferred low-carb sweetener)

• Optional: ½ tsp vanilla + pinch cinnamon

Blend until smooth and creamy. Serve immediately for a soft-serve texture or freeze 15–20 minutes for a firmer scoop.

Chef Tip:

1.) Freezing the supremed orange slices replaces having to use ice cubes, which means no diluting of taste.

2.) Using Use Greek yogurt instead of plain yogurt adds protein and a creaminess, but again plain yogurt will work in this recipe.

3.) Optionally adding 1–2 Tbsp protein powder (vanilla works beautifully) slows glucose response and makes it more filling.

4.) Tame the Sweetness without losing the joy by:

• Reducing the amount of honey to 1–2 tsp or swapping the honey with:

  • Monk fruit or stevia blend (zero sugar)

  • A drizzle of honey at the end instead of blending

You still get sweetness, but with better control

5.) Try adding a Flavor Accent, a:

• ½ tsp vanilla extract for dessert-like warmth or a

• Pinch of cinnamon, enhancing the sweetness naturally or even a

• Tiny pinch of salt, making the orange flavor pop!
