Instructions
 

1. Prep the Oranges: Peel and segment the oranges, ensuring to remove any seeds. If desired, you can reserve some zest for garnish.

    2. Blend: In a blender, add the orange segments, frozen banana, Greek yogurt, fresh orange juice, honey (if using), vanilla extract, and ice cubes.

      3. Blend Until Smooth: Blend on high until you achieve a creamy, smooth consistency, about 30-60 seconds. If it’s too thick, you can add a bit more orange juice to adjust the texture.
