Orange Creamsicle Smoothie
My daughter came home from school the other morning with a recipe her teacher gave to everyone…It’s titled Orange Smoothie, but I think a better name for it would be Orange Creamsicle Smoothie…it tastes almost identical…
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1/4 cup of orange Tang
Oranges)
- 2 Tbsp. sugar
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- Ice (enough to make desired consistency)
Place everything into a blender, mix till ice is crushed.

Wheatgrass Smoothie
I have never had a wheatgrass smoothie so I’m can’t really write anything about it other than to ask you to tell me if a wheatgrass smoothie is good. Is it? Should I try it? Will I like it? Are there any similar tastes? Leave your responses in the comments below. I am really curious if I should start drinking them. I found this recipe in my Vitamix Blender Recipe book.
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 medium orange, peeled and halved
- 1 medium apple, quartered
- 4 strawberries, fresh or frozen
- 1/2 cup of wheatgrass
- 1 cup ice cubes
Place all the ingredients in your blender and blend for about 1 minute. Then come back to this website and tell us how it was. Be honest, my taste buds are at stake.
Just Dew It Smoothie
I just bought a Vitamix Blender and this is one of the smoothie recipes that was included in the recipe book. It is not often I include a melon smoothie so honeydew smoothie recipe is a welcome addition.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup Honeydew chunks
- 1 medium orange
- 1/2 medium peach, pitted
- 1/2 cup fresh pineapple chunks, core can be included
- 1 cup ice cubes
Preparation: Start blender at low and increase slowly to high. Blend for 45 seconds or until desired smoothie-ness is reached. ;-) It should yield about 2 servings (3 1/4 cups)
Tropical Pina Colada Smoothie
I’m not a huge fan of pina colada, although I love the song. ;-) But I must admit I do love the smell of coconut so if you make this smoothie, I would suggest really getting the coconut milk and not using regular milk. It will make all the difference. This is a great breakfast smoothie with plenty of vitamins and protein to get your day started right and make you feel as if you are on vacation in some tropical paradise. I also think substituting the apple for mango is a nice twist. Comment below if you try this tropical smoothie.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 pineapple
- 1 apple
- 3 Tbs coconut milk
- 1 banana
- 1 orange
Blend and serve. If you want to get fancy add a Cocktail drink Umbrella and garnish with pineapple and banana.
Green Julius
This submission isn’t a smoothie recipe I have tried. And I’m not the biggest fan of green smoothies – usually not sweet enough for my tastes, but the health benefits of gren smoothies can’t be ignored. Please let me know if you try this one. I am very curious how the parsley would taste. That’s a lot of parsley. Pardons to the more famous Orange Julius recipes we have.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups orange juice
- 2 large mangoes
- 2 cups fresh parsley or spinach
- 2 cups of ice
Blend well and drink your healthy green smoothie. Yields 4 cups or 2 servings, as I feel 16 ounces is one serving for a smoothie.
