Easy Breezy Tropical Orange Smoothie Recipe

December 4, 2015 by Meghan 44 Comments

Some days I feel like easy should be my middle name.

With only four easy ingredients, this smoothie contains a boost of vitamins and is a light and refreshing way to start your day.

That or McFruitster, which might be a little too wordy, even for me. Then again Meghan McFruister McCarthy does have a certain ring to it, although the triple M factor could throw a few people and while my ninja skills are strong, I’ve had to take it easy lately. Tossing people has not been high on my priority list.

So easy it is then, which is certainly more appealing for the Hubby; stimulating too. Yes, shockingly enough, I do occasionally try to please that man. It’s how I ended up in my current “fragile” state. Granted, I was pleasing myself too, but we’re all about Team Work here at Casa Clean Eats.   

With only four easy ingredients, this smoothie contains a boost of vitamins and is a light and refreshing way to start your day.

Back to my point: I like easy.

Easy food, easy people, easy atmospheres.

In fact, the easier, the better. 

I also like things to look visually stunning, all while being extremely tasty, which I recognize doesn’t always fit the definition of easy, although this trifecta of amazingness has been known to happen, quite naturally too, whenever fruits or veggies are involved. Those guys are vibrant and sexy all on their own. They’ve also been known to shake a good tail feather.

Take this Tropical Orange Smoothie for example. It will delight your senses and make your taste buds dance.

With only four easy ingredients, this smoothie contains a boost of vitamins and is a light and refreshing way to start your day.

Even better, it’s only four simple ingredients: a dollop of frozen pineapple, a banana, and an orange with a splash of almond milk.

That’s it. That’s all. That’s everything. Easy, peasy lemon squeezy.

This smoothie is adaptable too. You could swap the frozen pineapple for fresh and go with a frozen banana instead. Then again, you could opt to use fresh everything and toss in a scoop of ice. Don’t like almond milk? Orange juice makes a mighty fine substitute. I’ve had it both ways and while the almond milk sure does make it extra creamy and delicious, the OJ is equally as successful. That’s the beauty of smoothies. They’re easy.

Now in the interest of being completely easy, I’m getting right to the recipe today.

No foreplay, no fuss, no muss.

Just simple. Easy. 

With only four easy ingredients, this smoothie contains a boost of vitamins and is a light and refreshing way to start your day.

Holy crap. How many times did I say easy? It’s possibly I’m craving some simplicity right now? On another note, what’s your winter smoothie of choice.

    Meghan,
    You’re very easy.
    (That’s what she said)
    Excellent timing on this smoothie. I’ll get a case or two of Band Fruit Fundraiser oranges in my house tomorrow morning and will be looking for ways to get them out of the box and into the belly.
    Thanks!

      This is a fantastic way to get through those band fundraiser oranges. In fact, if you need any help, I’d be happy to run away to Dayton for the next little while… 🙂 I’m great at eating Maple Snickerdoodle cookies too.

    I actually made something nearly identical for my son last night except with orange juice from a carton. I bribed him with a smoothie to get him out of the bath and then realized the only frozen fruit we had was pineapple. Definitely an easy one and very yummy!

    I totally get you on the easy yet visually stunning and extremely tasty thing. It might seem paradox but when it happens it’s extremely pleasing! The holy grail 😉
    I love that this winter smoothie is not a stereotypical winter smoothie. Like heavy, cookie like, full of spices… you get the point. During the whole summer I didn’t really crave any fruit. Now that we have not much here I am totally gaga about it. Frozen pineapple is available and I am totally buying me some oranges later.

      I feel like the Avocado Cheese Panini was one of those: easy, yet tasty and oh so pretty. In fact, I’ve got company coming today and that’s what we’re having for lunch.

      I’m with you. I always crave fruit more so in the winter. I think the cold weather and dry air makes my seek hydration in fruit form.

    The triple M thing makes me think of this amazing story that I could never tell on my own blog. So, you know the word “muff” right? Well my dad doesn’t know what it really means and he’s always called farts “muffs.” And when he does a really huge stinky fart he calls it a “monster muff” or a “double M.” And of course me and my sisters DIE LAUGHING on the inside every time he says he did a monster muff. The visual is just too much.

      I’ve been downing smoothies like a champ and packing them with as many greens as possible. The more kale and spinach, the better. It actually helps my energy levels while keeping me hydrated.

    You could always scrap the second half of your first name and go with a Megeasy McCarthy. I’d do that with mine, but I feel like “Ameasy” kind of sends the wrong message 😆 I’m all about the easy life, though. In fact, my blender earned a coveted permanent place on my counter -just- because of how much easier he makes my life. Muffins, pancakes, bars, smoothies, bites… you better believe I blend it all.

    I love how easy this is! And I love the fresh flavours in it too – the kind of smoothie I need in my life! I. Might sub one of the ingredients in this for mango as its in season right now and insanely delicious – local Aussie mangos are like no other I have had before – yum!

      If you’ve got mango, I say give it a try.

      In fact, the Hubby picked up frozen mango at the store this weekend since they were out of pineapple, so I might be giving it a try right there with you. We’ll have to take notes and compare.
