Orange Banana Smoothie

I love creating smoothies that are both sweet and tart.

This orange banana smoothie has the perfect combination of sweet and tart to be totally refreshing and tasty.

For this recipe, I am taking advantage of orange juice concentrate to give a nice strong orange flavor.

If you choose your concentrate wisely and look for one made with 100% juice, you can get one without yucky added ingredients that you don't need or want.

If you don't want to use orange juice concentrate or don't have it, you can sub it for more orange juice.

The orange flavor might not be as strong, but it will still be a tasty smoothie.

Again, I look for orange juice that is 100% juice because I don't want extra added, unnecessary ingredients in my orange juice or in my smoothie.

The recipe and a printable recipe can be found near the end of the post.

But I want to take a minute to answer a few commonly asked questions and also share my tips and tricks for modifying this recipe if needed.

How to make an orange banana smoothie

You will simply add orange juice, orange juice concentrate, and frozen bananas to a blender and blend until smooth.

I love how this recipe only requires 3 ingredients that are easy to keep on hand.

Do banana and orange go together?

Yes, they definitely blend well together, especially in this smoothie recipe.

The sweet of the banana perfectly offsets the tangy acid of the orange.

Is a banana and milk smoothie good for you?

Yes, it is so delicious and good for you!

You can check out my Banana Smoothie recipe HERE.

But this recipe adds orange to it for even more goodness including vitamin C and other great benefits of oranges!

Can you mix oranges and yogurt?

Yes, you can mix oranges and yogurt.

And if you would like, you can add yogurt to this recipe.

However, my orange banana smoothie recipe is yogurt free.

Can you blend oranges?

Yes, you can definitely put a couple of peeled oranges in your blender and blend them.

They have high water content so should blend easily on their own.

But you don't need to use oranges for this orange banana smoothie recipe if you don't want to.

I love the convenience of using orange juice concentrate and orange juice instead!

Can you mix orange and milk?

Yes, you can mix oranges and milk for a yummy smoothie recipe, however, this orange smoothie recipe is dairy-free.

And dairy-substitute free.

And it is still creamy and delicious (thank you bananas)

Smoothie Made With Bananas And Orange Juice

Is an orange banana smoothie dairy-free?

Yes, this smoothie recipe is dairy-free.

It is also free of added sugars too.

Thanks to the frozen bananas for giving it its creamy texture and its sweet flavor.

What ingredients are in an orange banana smoothie?

Bananas (frozen if possible)
Orange Juice Concentrate
Orange Juice

Do I need to use frozen bananas in this smoothie?

No, you do not need to use frozen bananas in this smoothie recipe.

I love peeling my brown bananas and throwing them in my freezer for use in smoothies later.

When I use frozen brown bananas I eliminate banana waste, eliminate the need to add extra sweetener to my smoothies, and I can eliminate the need to add ice to my smoothies.

Basically, frozen bananas are the best for smoothies!

Can I use fresh bananas in this smoothie?

If you don't have a frozen banana, you can use fresh.

You may need to add ice to this recipe to thicken it up and make it cold.

What blender is best for smoothies and milkshakes?

There are many blenders you can use for making smoothies, milkshakes and frozen drinks, but I personally own the Vitamix 780 and think it is simply the best.

I get smooth, consistent results every single time which is exactly what I want for all my drinks!

You can buy your own Vitamix 780 HERE.

It is my favorite and I know you will love it too!
