Ingredients For Orange Dreamsicle Protein Shake
Almond Milk (unsweetened): You can use your milk of choice, but this makes it vegan-friendly and compatible if you’re avoiding dairy.
Orange: I love using navel oranges for this shake—they’re sweet, seedless, and super easy to peel. Plus, they blend up smooth and give the shake that classic orange creamsicle flavor. You can also use Cara Cara oranges if you want a slightly deeper, berry-like sweetness.
Banana (frozen): Another fave smoothie hack of mine that adds a creamy, ice cream-esque texture. I first started doing this in my Chocolate Banana Ice Cream Recipe.
Greek Yogurt (Full Fat): For that extra dose of protein and probiotics! Greek yogurt for Caramelized Onion Dip, Protein Smoothies, Healthy Soups, and anything that needs thickening (sans the heavy calories).
Vanilla Protein Powder: Look for brands with minimal ingredients and zero fillers. I like using our Cleanish, Vanilla Bean flavor of course, with 20g of protein for an excellent boost.
Step By Step Instructions
Step 1: Add all ingredients into a blender.
Step 2: Blend until smooth.
FAQs
Is Orange Juice Good For Protein Shakes?
It can work in a pinch, but I personally prefer using a real orange in my shakes. You get all the fiber, minerals, and natural sweetness—without the added sugar hit that comes from juice. That said, if you're out of fresh oranges, a small splash of orange juice (2–4 oz) can still give you that bright, citrusy flavor.

Is It Ok To Mix Fruit With Protein Shakes?
Of course! Fruits pack a punch of flavor and add a nutritional boost to your protein shakes. They're a great way to up your daily intake of fiber, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. Another bonus? They also serve as natural sweeteners!
