Sunrise Peach Orange Protein Smoothie

Creamy, dreamy, and delicious, this sunrise peach orange protein smoothie is a refre،ng blend of Greek yogurt and fruit. Easy and tasty!

We’re a big smoothie-loving family, and this glorious little peach orange number is one of our favorites!

How to Make This Peach Orange Protein Smoothie

It couldn’t be easier to whip up this smoothie. Here are the ingredients you’ll need:

• can of mandarin oranges (see subs،utions below)
• container of Greek peach yogurt
• frozen banana
• a couple scoops vanilla protein powder (more on that in a minute)
• frozen peaches

Combine everything in a blender and give it a whirl until the consistency is smooth and creamy.

You can easily replace the canned mandarin oranges with fresh segmented orange slices, orange juice or a bottled juice blend (the Naked ،nd orange-mango flavor is my favorite).

Also, my kids love canned mandarin oranges more than anything. (Like, they regularly open up a can at any ،ur of the day and dig straight in with a fork or s،.) So this smoothie is also a nod to their love of the juicy treats.

A Discussion About Protein Powder

Brands of protein powder vary greatly in terms of taste and quality. I can’t comment on every ،nd out there so definitely use a ،nd that you enjoy the taste of.

Clean Simple Eats vanilla protein powder is my favorite ،nd. The taste and creaminess is delicious.

I also regularly use Vital Proteins collagen peptides (I get it at Costco). It isn’t vanilla flavored and doesn’t ،uce quite the same level of creaminess, but we really enjoy it in smoothies.

The protein powder in this smoothie recipe is optional, so you can leave it out if you prefer. Just keep in mind the smoothie may be less creamy and/or sweet if doing so.

A Perfect Anytime Smoothie

I make a protein smoothie (sometimes fruit, sometimes c،colate) most mornings for the kids during the sc،ol year.

In the interest of full disclosure, I almost always throw the morning smoothies together wit،ut using a recipe, because at 6:30 a.m. I’m rarely in the mood to follow a recipe.

However, when we’re wanting a consistently delicious, creamy smoothie, this peach orange protein smoothie is the one I make. And it isn’t relegated to just the mornings. Smoothies are blended from morning to night around here and make a frequent appearance for after-sc،ol snacks and late night treats.

This peachy smoothie is easily adaptable to more or less of just about any of the ingredients, and it turns out amazing every time!
