Ingredients
- 4 clementines, peeled and separated into segments
- 1 frozen banana
- 1/2 cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup, optional
- 1/2 cup ice cubes
Instructions
- Peel the clementines, separate them into segments, and remove as much of the white pith as possible.
- Add the clementine segments, frozen banana, Greek yogurt, milk, vanilla extract, and optional honey or maple syrup to a blender.
- Blend on high until smooth and creamy.
- Add the ice cubes and blend again until the smoothie is thick and frosty.
- If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash of milk and blend again. For a thicker consistency, add a few more ice cubes or extra frozen banana.
- Pour into glasses and serve immediately while cold and creamy.
Notes
- Add a little fresh orange zest for a stronger citrus aroma and flavor.
- For a dairy-free version, use dairy-free yogurt and almond, oat, or coconut milk.
- For a smoothie bowl, reduce the milk and add extra frozen banana. Top with granola, fruit, coconut, or chia seeds.
- Frozen mango or pineapple can be added for a tropical variation.
- Leave out the honey or maple syrup for a less-sweet smoothie.
- Fresh clementines can be replaced with oranges, mandarins, or tangerines.
- For a banana-free version, substitute frozen mango or use extra Greek yogurt and ice.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours and stir or shake well before serving.
- For longer storage, freeze leftover smoothie in an ice cube tray and reblend the cubes with a splash of milk.
