Notes
- Using frozen banana will make this smoothie creamier than fresh. However, fresh bananas do work!
- Likewise, you can always opt for water in place of coconut water. That said, coconut water is extremely hydrating and makes this orange banana smoothie just a bit more refreshing in the summertime.
- Freshly squeezed orange juice will give the smoothie the best flavor.
- If you wish to make this smoothie more protein-based, add in a scoop of collagen powder or your preferred protein powder. However, see the notes on the best way to do this.
- Don't omit the vanilla extract. Vanilla + orange is what gives this smoothie a similar flavor to an orange julius!
