3. Add the ice cubes to the blender to give the smoothie a creamy, chilled texture.
4. Blend the ingredients on high speed for 1-2 minutes, or until the mixture is completely smooth and frothy.
5. Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness if necessary by adding a little more maple syrup or agave nectar.
6. Pour the smoothie into two glasses and serve immediately. Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of orange zest or a slice of fresh orange for a decorative touch.
