Did you ever go to Orange Julius as a kid? Only a Boston thing? Ok well they had the most amazing Orange Creamsicle smoothies, and I was obsessed! They tasted like dessert… thats because they probably were. Most smoothie shops load their smoothies with unnecessary ingredients like extra sugar, sweetened yogurts, even ice-cream. While theres a time and a place for the sweet treat, smoothies can easily be made healthy without all the extra junk.
This Orange creamscile smoothie only has 4 ingredients, and is straight up delicious! The perfect cooling summer treat! I added Vital Proteins Vanilla Collagen for a scoop of gut-healing protein (plus some probiotics 😉 )
Vital Proteins Vanilla Peptides are only sweetened with coconut water and vanilla bean powder, but the flavor it packs is delicious! I love adding a scoop to my smoothies to enhance the vanilla taste, plus it gives my body that extra protein boost! Unlike other protein powders, Vital Proteins peptides are easy to digest, and will help heal your gut rather than cause bloating!
