Peel and segment fresh oranges, then freeze them ahead of time for a thicker smoothie.
Add the fresh orange juice, vanilla Greek yogurt, frozen orange segments, frozen banana, and vanilla extract into a blender.
If extra sweetness is desired, add honey at this stage.
Throw in the ice cubes to add a chilled, frothy texture.
Blend everything on high speed until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the blender with a spatula if necessary.
Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness or consistency by adding more honey or ice as needed.
Pour the smoothie into two glasses, garnish with an orange slice or a sprig of mint if desired, and serve immediately.
