Sunrise Peach Orange Protein Smoothie

Yield: 2 servings

Prep Time: 15

Total Time: 15

Ingredients

1 (11-ounce) can mandarin oranges, undrained (see note)
1 (5.3 ounce) container peach Greek yogurt (or other flavor of choice)
1 frozen banana (see note)
2 scoops vanilla protein powder (optional - see note)
2 cups frozen peach slices

Instructions

Combine all ingredients in a blender and process until smooth. Adjust consistency with milk/yogurt to thin or additional frozen peaches to thicken, if needed.
Serve immediately.

Notes

Oranges: you can replace the canned mandarin oranges with fresh segmented orange slices, orange juice, or a bottled juice blend (the Naked brand orange-mango flavor is my favorite and is delicious in this smoothie).

Banana: if you don't have frozen bananas on hand, a fresh banana will do. You may need/want to increase the frozen peaches for consistency.

Protein Powder: brands of protein powder vary greatly in terms of taste/quality. Clean Simple Eats vanilla protein powder is my favorite. I also use Vital Proteins collagen peptides (or a combination). You can easily omit the protein powder - the smoothie may be less creamy if doing so.
