Orange Dreamcicle Green Smoothie
A creamy, dreamy green smoothie, with the flavors of those amazing orange creamcicle pops we all loved as kids. Breakfast is better with greens! My favorite way to make these is with really sweet mandarins. I make them with navel oranges, but find adding ¼ frozen banana helps to sweeten it up when I use those.
