Ingredients
  

1 large ripe banana, frozen

1 cup fresh orange juice (preferably not from concentrate)

1/2 cup Greek yogurt (for creaminess and protein)

1/2 cup coconut milk (or almond milk for a nut-free option)

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, based on sweetness preference)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric (for a health boost and vibrant color)

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (for a hint of warmth)

Ice cubes (about 1/2 cup, optional, for extra chill)

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients: Start by peeling your frozen banana and cutting it into chunks. This will make blending easier and create a smoother texture.

    Combine Ingredients: In a high-speed blender, add the frozen banana chunks, fresh orange juice, Greek yogurt, coconut milk, honey or maple syrup (if using), vanilla extract, turmeric, and cinnamon. If you like your smoothie cold, toss in the ice cubes as well.

      Blend Until Smooth: Secure the lid on your blender and blend on high speed until the mixture is perfectly smooth and creamy. This should take about 30-60 seconds. If the smoothie is too thick, you can add a bit more orange juice or coconut milk to reach your desired consistency.

        Taste and Adjust: Give your smoothie a quick taste. If you want it sweeter, you can add more honey or syrup and blend again briefly to mix it in.

          Serve: Pour the creamy smoothie into tall glasses. If you like, you can garnish it with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and freshness.

            Enjoy: Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Creamy Orange Sunrise Smoothie!
