Recipe Collection: Orange Cream Smoothie

admin March 4, 2010

I first created this recipe back in 2010, and I have tweaked it a handful of times since then.  Today it’s something that we make very quickly for breakfast…and the kids love it!  It’s made with fresh ingredients, it’s healthy, and all around yay.  That’s silly, but I love delicious things that are easy.

The 2010 Version

This version requires some cooking and an ice cream maker, which is why I don’t do it anymore.  But it’s dairy-free, so there’s that, if you have need.

Original recipe:

Ingredients:
2 egg yolks (pastured/organic)
2 vanilla beans
1.5 c. coconut milk, unsweetened
3 c. orange juice

Directions:
Heat coconut milk in a medium saucepan on low. Beat in eggs yolks. Scrape out vanilla beans and add the caviar to the milk mixture. Cut the vanilla beans in half and add them too. Stir and cook on low until the mixture is steaming and slightly thickened. Watch it carefully so the eggs don’t cook. Remove it from the heat, and add cold orange juice. At this point, pour into an ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer’s directions.

The Upgraded Version

This version is what we make today.  It doesn’t require any cooking or an ice cream maker, but you do have to do a little advance prep.

Ingredients:

  • 3 c. fresh-squeezed orange juice (it’s so much better than bottled juice — about 6 oranges)
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1/2 c. raw honey
  • 3/4 c. heavy cream

Directions:

Step 1: The night before you want to serve this, juice all the oranges and pour the juice into ice cube trays.  Freeze (at least 6 hours).

Step 2: Add the frozen orange juice cubes + remaining ingredients to a blender.

Step 3: Blend until smooth!

Could not be faster…and you will be happy you made it!

  2. Do you use a juicer and if so, what kind? Looks amazing but I don’t have the strength to juice 6 oranges by hand.
