Keyword: 5 ingredient, kid friendly, smoothie
Servings: 4 -5 cups

Ingredients

  • 4 fresh oranges peeled
  • 2 cups ice
  • 1/3 cup milk (your preference – regular soy, coconut, etc.)
  • 1-2 tablespoons honey (or agave or your desired sweetener) if needed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract store-bought or homemade

Instructions

  • Combine all ingredients in a blender, and blend until smooth.  Add more ice if you would like.

Notes

My favorite trick with this is to pop the peeled oranges in the freezer for 30 minutes prior to making these.  So that they're not thoroughly frozen, but definitely chilled and beginning to freeze.  Then you can use slightly less ice.  :)
