Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh orange juice
- 1 large frozen banana
- 0.5 cup coconut milk
- 0.5 cup ice cubes
- 0.5 teaspoon fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Peel a ripe banana, cut it into chunks, and freeze it for at least 2 hours before making the smoothie.
Juice enough fresh oranges to yield 1 cup of orange juice, or use store-bought fresh orange juice if you prefer.
In a blender, combine 1 cup of fresh orange juice, the frozen banana chunks, 0.5 cup of coconut milk, and 0.5 cup of ice cubes.
Grate 0.5 teaspoon of fresh ginger and add it to the blender. Fresh ginger adds a refreshing kick, but you can skip it if you prefer a milder flavor.
Add 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup for sweetness, but this is optional if you prefer the natural sweetness from the fruits.
Pour in 0.5 teaspoon of vanilla extract to enhance the overall flavor profile.
Blend all ingredients on high until smooth and creamy, ensuring the frozen banana is fully incorporated.
Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness or flavorings if necessary.
Pour the smoothie into two glasses and serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
