Main Ingredients

Our strawberry orange smoothie recipe combines two summer fruits into a refreshing and light-calorie drink.

• Strawberries: Frozen strawberries are ideal for this smoothie since you don’t have to add too much ice and liquify the drink. If you can’t get frozen strawberries, try frozen raspberries or red berries.
• Orange Juice: Orange juice delivers a hint of tangy sweetness, giving the drink a summer vibe. Plus, it adds liquid to help everything blend smoothly.
• Milk: Dairy adds a boost of protein and helps to get a creamy consistency. Plant-based milk, such as almond milk, soy milk, or even yogurt, can be used in the place of regular milk. For a tropical twist, try coconut milk.
• Honey: Honey is used to balance the tang, making this strawberry orange smoothie slightly sweet.
• Ice: For a quick, chilly, frosty texture.
• Mint Leaves: Finish your tropical drink with wonderful fresh notes from mint leaves.

Can You Make This Smoothie With Water?

Yes, you can use water in place of milk in our strawberry orange smoothie recipe. However, note that you may experience some changes in the flavor and texture. Specifically, the result will be less creamy, less rich, and less fluffy.

Can You Make This Smoothie the Night Before?

Our strawberry orange smoothie can be made in advance to enjoy later. We have a simple method for storing the smoothie in the fridge and freezer.

After making the smoothie, transfer it into a mason jar or an airtight container and close it with a lid. Then keep the drink in the fridge for 3 – 4 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

When ready to use the smoothie, simply give it a shake if it has been in the fridge, or thaw it at room temperature for a few hours if you’ve just removed it from the freezer. Our strawberry orange smoothie is perfect for preparing the night before and serves as a quick and light breakfast for those busy mornings.
