- 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cup Freshly squeezed orange juice

In a blender, combine the peeled oranges, Greek yogurt, orange juice, honey, and vanilla extract.
Add the ice cubes to the blender to create a chilled and creamy texture.
Blend on high speed for 1-2 minutes, or until the mixture is completely smooth and the ice cubes are fully crushed.

Pour the smoothie into two glasses and serve immediately. Garnish with an orange slice or a small sprig of mint if desired.
