Orange Dreamsicle Protein Shake

Today is National Orange Juice Day, and I thought this Orange Dreamsicle Protein Shake would be perfect! I honestly can’t remember I had a Dreamsicle but I was in the mood for something orangey but not overly sweet. I love vanilla and orange and the first thing that came to mind was a Dreamsicle.

 

Orange Dreamsicle Protein Shake

makes 1

3/4c unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk (use Silk Unsweetened Original Almond Milk this time, also like Coconut Milk)

zest of one orange

1- 1 1/2 orange juiced or one whole peeled orange and 1/2 an orange juiced (I like to use the whole orange option)

1 scoop vanilla protein powder (used Vega One French Vanilla)

cup of ice

 

*If using fresh squeezed orange juice and omitting zest use 1/2 cup of orange juice.

Put first 4 ingredients in a Vitamix or high speed blender and blend. Add ice and blend until smooth. Enjoy!
