Vegan Orange Creamsicle Smoothie
This refreshing, vegan smoothie is absolutely necessary on a hot summers day! It’s easy to whip together, contains fresh fruits and healthy fats and tastes utterly delicious. Between this smoothie and my favorite Berry Pink Smoothie it’s been a pretty delicious summer!
Many smoothies make the mistake of being all fruit based. While this does tastes magnificent, it also gives your body quite a sugar hit. This smoothie contains a dose of healthy, satisfying fats in addition to the fruit. This makes it so that the sugar will be absorbed slower and you’ll stay full longer.

My favorite part about this smoothie though is it’s texture. Using frozen banana helps give the shake a creamy, ice cream like texture which makes it perfect on a warm day!
Not only is this smoothie sweet but it’s refreshing too! It makes a wonderful pick me up as you lounge outside in the sun and keep little ones cool and full as they run around.

No problem! I hope you enjoy it! It’s so simple to make!
This is totally my go to breakfast! Except I don’t use the cashews and I use plant based protein! Sooo delicious!
Ah I love it! I switch it up depending on the day but I use a lot of plant based protein too. Anything orange banana is super addictive and tasty:D
This recipe looks deliciious. I have never looked for hemp hearts. Do you order them online or find them in the grocery store?
Hemp hearts are amazing! They have so many health benefits associated with them-though I will admit expensive. You can order them online here (http://amzn.to/2vq1CuQ <-- that's an affiliate link heads up!) or if your in Canada Bulk Barn sells them. if you're in the US I'd try a local health food store 🙂
I totally need to start using my blender more! LOL
Haha yes! So many yummy things can be blended!
I love this smoothie. It looks and sounds delicious. I hope I can make it soon. Thank you.
Enjoy it!
I’m excited about this! Creamsicles were my favorite as a kid. Can’t wait to try it.
It`s a refreshing one and even better that it`s healthy!
Oh my goodness! I love this! I’m going to have to make this for a snack for my boys and myself tomorrow. We’re always looking for healthy alternatives, and I love what you said about all fruit smoothies. So true. This one is interesting. I can’t wait to try it! Thank you!
I have a serious addiction to smoothies haha- they make the perfect snack! I hope you and your boys enjoy it, let me know!
ohh I love this you got me with the name! I will def try and I discovered when I freeze fruits my smoothie comes out like icecream which my girls love!
Haha glad the name snagged you in 😀 Frozen fruit works SO MUCH better in smoothies. Keeping in mind both banana and avocado also help give it an ìce cream like” consistency 😉
I am a smoothie lover and need to try this! Sounds delicious!

You can’t go wrong with smoothies- so tasty! Enjoy 🙂
This smoothie sounds delicious! I love that it’s vegan too. I’m not a vegetarian/vegan, but I love trying these recipes!
I’m with you! I’m not a vegan either but I love using minimal & healthy ingredients 🙂
Oooh yum, this looks delicious! My mom just discovered hemp hearts, so it looks like this is the perfect opportunity to try them out 🙂
That’s awesome that she’s jumped into hemp hearts- they’re super versatile- enjoy it!
I love the flavor of orange creamsicle but but that its vegan and a smoothie makes it better.
I know- you can’t go wrong with orange and banana right??
Sounds amazing. Could I omit the hemp hearts or are they necessary? My local health food stores are a bit of a drive for me.
The hemp hearts aren’t necessary they just help boost nutrition (protein) and make it a bit smoother. If you’re omitting them I’d put in a tablespoon of coconut milk to make it a bit creamier!
