Equipment

  • Blender
  • Zester

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large oranges
  • 2 large bananas
  • ½ cup vanilla Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup frozen mango
  • 1 cup ice
  • 1 tablespoon collagen

Instructions
 

  • Zest one of the oranges and set aside. Peel both oranges and slice into chunks.
  • Add the bananas, oranges, orange zest, yogurt, mango, ice, and collagen to a high speed blender. Blend until smooth.
  • Serve with an orange slice (optional).

Notes

Tips
  • Using frozen mango (as opposed to fresh) will really help thicken this smoothie. So make sure it's frozen.
  • Vanilla yogurt is key for the undertone of vanilla to taste like an Orange Julius. So, vanilla yogurt really matters.
  • I use vanilla Greek yogurt for the added protein, but regular vanilla yogurt also works just fine.
  • The collagen adds extra protein, but this is optional. You can leave it out if you prefer.
  • Make this vegan by using vegan yogurt and removing the collagen.
  • High Altitude — Follow the recipe as noted.
