Ingredients

Smoothie Base

  • 1 ¼ cups non-dairy milk
  • ¼ cup orange juice
  • ½ teaspoon orange zest (optional)
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • tiny pinch of salt

Spices

  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Fruits

  • 1 large orange, peeled and frozen in segments
  • 1 large ripe pear, cored, chopped and frozen
  • 5 tablespoons cranberry sauce

Add-ins

  • ¼ cup rolled oats
  • 1 scoop vanilla vegan protein powder (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon almond butter

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Peel the large orange, separate it into segments, and freeze them. Core and chop the large ripe pear, then freeze it as well to ensure the smoothie is thick and refreshing.
  2. Combine Ingredients: Place the non-dairy milk, orange juice, orange zest (if using), cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, rolled oats, vanilla vegan protein powder (if opting in), cranberry sauce, almond butter, vanilla extract, salt, frozen orange segments, and frozen chopped pear into a high-speed blender.
  3. Blend Smoothly: Blend all ingredients on high speed for about 1 minute or until completely smooth and creamy, ensuring the frozen fruit is fully incorporated and there are no lumps.
  4. Serve: Pour the smoothie into glasses and enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Using frozen fruit helps achieve a creamy, chilled texture without needing ice.
  • Adjust the amount of cranberry sauce to control sweetness and tartness to your liking.
  • The vanilla vegan protein powder is optional but adds extra protein and makes the smoothie more filling.
  • Almond butter can be substituted with any nut or seed butter as preferred.
  • If you prefer a thinner consistency, add a little more non-dairy milk or orange juice.
