Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 whole (medium-sized) Oranges
- 1 whole (small, ripe but not overripe) Banana
- 0.5 cups Unsweetened almond milk
- 1.5 cups Ice cubes
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoons Chia seeds (optional for texture and fiber boost)
Instructions
Peel the oranges, removing as much white pith as possible to prevent bitterness. Cut them into quarters for easier blending.
Peel the banana and slice it into chunks for easier processing.
Add the orange quarters, banana chunks, unsweetened almond milk, ice cubes, and vanilla extract into a blender.
Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and slushy in texture. If you prefer a thicker consistency, add more ice cubes and blend again.
If desired, stir in chia seeds after blending for additional fiber and a slight crunch.
Divide the slush into two glasses and serve immediately for the best texture and flavor. Optionally, garnish with a slice of orange on the rim of each glass.
Enjoy this diabetic-friendly orange banana slush as a refreshing snack or dessert!
