There’s lots to say about orange creamsicles: they never really taste like an orange, are filled with fake colors and flavors, and have such a high sugar and carbohydrate content. I know these are all negatives, but there’s not really anything positive to say about orange creamsicles.

You don’t need sugar for this smoothie and you can even make it dairy-free by using an alternative milk! Real nutrients and vitamins boost your health through this delicious smoothie.
