A quick and creamy Orange Dreamsicle Smoothie recipe to kick off your day with a boost of Vitamin C and happiness (and with just 5 easy ingredients!)

I used to be really affected by the weather. Rainy days would = less than joyous days. But then I moved to Holland where it’s almost always rainy, and I quickly realized I couldn’t let myself succumb to the rainy day blues. And I think that’s the root of my obsession with smoothies. If you can have sunshine in a cup, what matter does the weather make any who? Enter the Orange Dreamsicle Smoothie.

This sunny fellow is creamy, dreamy, and packed with protein + Vitamin C. It makes rainy days feel sunny and winter days feel like summer (…and I haven’t it tried it in the summer but I imagine it would be off the chizang).
