Remember the simple joy of enjoying a creamy, citrusy popsicle on a hot summer day? Now, imagine capturing that same delightful flavor in a glass – that’s precisely what an orange creamsicle smoothie offers.
I needed something different that wouldn’t take all morning to cook. Plus, I needed to increase my calcium intake to help my bun in the oven grow some strong bones.

ITS VERY HELP FUL AND VERY INFORMATIVE POST.THANK YOU.
Currently on a diet and have a serious craving for an Orange Dreamscile. Which brought me to your blog. Didn’t have the ice cream so I used greek yogurt, and 2 scoops plain soy protein (things I had on hand). It was good but thinking this weekend I’m going to “bite the bullet” and use ice cream…LOL. Thanks for sharing.
The substitution with Greek yogurt sounds like a great idea!
This smoothie looks delicious.
