The Orange Creamsicle - Vegan / Non-Dairy Smoothie


Recipe #2044953 ratings


This yummy smoothie brings me back to the summer days of my childhood, eating creamsicle pops by the side of the local swimming pool. Add ice if you want to make it a thicker, icier drink - Otherwise it is a thinner, more juice-like beverage. This is such a tasty treat. Gluten-free, pareve, vegan, dairy-free.





1 cup orange juice, not from concentrate


1 cup rice milk, fortified (plain or vanilla)


1 banana


1/2 teaspoon vanilla


Optional


ice








Combine ingredients in blender.


Blend until smooth and frothy.


Serve immediately.
ice


strawberries


kiwi


pineapples


honey


put it in the blender , pour and enjoy
My favorite:


Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Shake





1 chopped, frozen banana


1 cup vanilla soy milk


1 tablespoon cocoa powder


1 or 2 teaspoons unflavored psyllium fiber (I use Metamucil)


1 teaspoon peanut butter





I have this for breakfast at least 4 times a week. Delicious, and the fiber keeps me feeling full for quite a while. You could leave out the peanut butter if you wanted fewer calories, but I wouldn't.
orange juice


ice
1 ripe mango, peeled, pitted, chopped -- (approx. 1-1/4 cups)


3/4 cups milk, skim -- chilled


1/4 cups nonfat vanilla yogurt


3/4 teaspoons vanilla extract


3 ice cubes


Pinch of salt


Fresh mint sprigs





Combine all ingredients except mint in blender. Blend until smooth and creamy. Garnish with mint.





Hope it works!
I have a good one, but it has berries in it. here it is anyway





strawberries (i use frozen)


rasberries (i use frozen)


1 banana


orange juice


a little bit of orange sherbert


ice








sorry i dont know the exact measurements, i just guess, and dont know how many calories are in it either.





but it is really good!!
you can use vanilla soy milk and bananas alittle ice very yummy.and you can use any kind of fruit in it.
If you're ok with soy, peanut, or rice milk I recommend those. Then blend with strawberries and nectarines.
Plain yorgurt, granola, special K cereal, and your favorite fruit.
a) Frozen berries + banana + OJ


b) peach/apricot + mango + pineapple juice + crushed ice


c) strawberries + kiwi + pear juice + crushed ice
Strawberries


Fresh Orange Juice


Bananas

[My fave] =]
The best way to get the ';smoothie'; consistancy without adding dairy is to add a banana. As far as recipes go, I think a good rule is to avoid them. Add what you like to the blender and go for it. I always use half a bag of frozen fruit per serving, plus about a half cup of any liquid and a half cup of yogurt. Since you want no dairy, just use a banana in place of the yogurt. Happy summer eating!
Milk and berries is always good, try that
