Orange Creamsicle Smoothie Recipe - Protein Smoothie

Growing up I loved getting those creamsicle ice creams from the store. They were so yummy. The outside a cold delicious orange flavor with the inside being a soft vanilla ice cream! They are still some of my favorites for a yummy summertime treat, but when you are trying to eat healthy and eat less sugar you gotta get creative!

I have been on a mission to make my childhood favorite recipes into a healthier version. This way I can still enjoy the things I love, but they are just a bit better for me :)

It has definitely been a struggle to get the flavors right, but I think I am succeeding! This is one of those recipes. Now, it doesn’t have the texture of one of those amazing ice cream bars, but it has the flavor so that counts!
