Orange juice, banana, mango, coconut yogurt, almond milk, protein powder, and a date are blended to perfection in this creamy, protein-packed smoothie, inspired by the classic creamsicle.
Requiring just a few simple ingredients, this Orange Creamsicle Protein Smoothie fits the bill in terms of giving all the juicy orange flavor along with some protein to keep you satiated.
One thing I didn’t expect during my pregnancy was an obsession with all things oranges! Since the first trimester, I’ve craved the juicy goodness of the raw citrus or freshly squeezed juice.
After learning more about this fruit, it makes good sense: Oranges are rich in vitamin C, potassium, and thiamin, and they’re also a good source of folate — an essential vitamin for fetal growth and development.
The combo of orange juice, banana, and mango gives this smoothie a tropical, beachy vibe, while the addition of a coconut yogurt adds delicious creaminess.
Put everything into a blender, give it a whirl, and in a few minutes, you’ll have yourself a delicious drinkable breakfast that will keep you full until lunch. Enjoy!

Ingredients for High-Protein Creamsicle Smoothie
The key to a craveable smoothie is a good ratio of liquid to frozen fruit to creaminess. Here’s everything you’ll need to make one serving.
- Orange Juice: Rich in Vitamin C and potassium, orange juice is rich in nutrients and antioxidants. I like to choose a brand that doesn’t add any unnecessary sugar or preservatives.
- Frozen Banana: Keeping frozen bananas on hand is a convenient way to extend their shelf life, and it makes smoothies creamier. I find that you don’t need to add ice if some of your ingredients are already frozen.
- Frozen Mango: Mango is great for digestion and immune health.

Pin It- Almond Milk: Any type of nut milk will do, like my Creamy Vanilla Cashew Milk.
- Date: This adds natural sweetness and a bit of fiber as well.
- Vanilla Protein Powder: Adding a scoop of vanilla protein powder ensures that I can enjoy all the goodness of this fruit-based smoothie without feeling hangry 30 minutes later. I love @ritual protein powder, but feel free to use your fave.
- Turmeric: A bit of this spice will enhance the color of the smoothie. If you don’t have it, feel free to omit it.
- Coconut Yogurt: If you aren’t dairy-free, you can use Greek yogurt for even more protein.
- Salt: A bit of salt to offset the fruity sweetness.
How to Make Orange Cream Smoothie
Prep a serving glass by swirling with coconut yogurt.
Recipe Tip
I like to do the coconut swirl by using a long spoon and swirling about a tablespoon of the yogurt around different parts of the glass. You’ll get that cloud look that some of the most desirable, high-end smoothie spots (cough, cough Erewhon) are famous for.
Add the orange juice, banana, mango, almond milk, date, protein powder, turmeric, 1/4 cup coconut yogurt, and salt to a blender and blend until smooth.
Pour into the serving glass and enjoy immediately!
