I’m kind of one of those people who loves their comfort zone. While trying new recipes and
restaurants is my jam (and let’s not even mention ever-revolving beauty product addiction), I also
relish familiarity. I tend to listen to the same songs (like for a whole decade), revert to rewatching my
favorite shows (ahem, the o ce and bu y), and apparently blend the same smoothies–this one and
this one have been in the rotation for more months than I’m willing to admit. I even have favorite
mugs and cups to drink from, #boring.
Obviously, I need to shake things up every once in a while or I nd myself in a deep rut. This
smoothie has pulled me out of my current smoothie rut (though I’m not even sick of my usual
concoctions). It’s a smoothie version of the classic creamsicle. I added plenty of toasted coconut
because in my head it just makes sense to add to the creamy vanilla notes and juicy orange avors
already at play. There’s also some frozen banana and mango for creamy sweetness. I used canned
coconut milk in this recipe, instead of my usual almond milk, and a little ke r for added tartness.
There’s a spoonful of hemp hearts for health and science. You could add some greens or spirulina (I
do about half the time) to boost the health factor even more. A splash of vanilla extract brings
everything into creamsicle territory. It’s de nitely part of the rotation, now…probably for the next
decade or so.

1. Place all of the ingredients into the canister of a high powered blender in the order that they are written.Blend, starting on low and gradually going up to the highest speed, once you hit the highest speed blend for3060 seconds. Pour into glasses.
N OT E S
Cara Cara oranges are a type of navel orange with a pinkish flesh. You can feel free to use a regular navel orangein the recipe.
You can swap the kefir for plain yogurt and the hemp hearts for chia or flax seeds, if you want.
Add a teaspoon of spirulina or a handful of your preferred greens (I like spinach in smoothies) to bump up thehealth factor.

I also love the comfort zone (although my jam is The O.C. and Seinfeld). I pride
myself on trying new things but always end up wanting to go to the same ve restaurants
– ha! Can’t go wrong with coconut, obviously! This looks delicious!
