Orange Banana Weight-loss Smoothie is a delicious drink with orange juice, banana, and protein. It’s perfect when you want a refreshing snack with some healthy benefits.
This smoothie drink is light, fluffy, filling, and satisfying.
Similar to my Creamsicle Protein Smoothie, this protein smoothie has a less intense orange flavor.
ORANGE BANANA WEIGHT-LOSS SMOOTHIE
This recipe has just a handful of ingredients that you probably already have. It has orange juice, bananas, and ice. You can add protein powder if you want.
As written, this smoothie is thick. The kind of smoothie you eat with a spoon. However, you can add coconut milk or coconut water, or almond milk to make it thinner if needed. Add a quarter cup at a time to avoid thinning it out too much. (Try to work with the blender before adding any juice if you want a thick and creamy smoothie.)
Ingredients
The full recipe with ingredient amounts and instructions is at the bottom of this post. You can save a tree and the recipe to your personal and private recipe box here on Call Me PMc. This way, you’ll never misplace it.
- 1 cup orange juice
- 1 cup frozen bananas
- 1.5 cups ice
- 1 scoop protein powder vanilla, unflavored, or orange (optional)
- almond milk
For any smoothie, a good blender is key!!
I have never had a traditional blender that lasts very long. But I highly recommend this NutriBullet. I never use a traditional blender anymore. Furthermore, I realize there are cheaper ‘blender bullets’ available, but this is the brand I use, and know it works. If you find a deal on another brand, be certain to check the watts. You’ll want one with high watts to grind ice which is in most smoothie recipes. (The NutriBullet linked above is 1000 watts.)
You can still make this shake if you don’t have a high-powered blender. You may need to help the blender at the beginning with the thicker ingredients. Try pulsing it or starting and stopping and using a spoon to mix and stir the ingredients.

Can you please tell me what a good protein powder to use for weight loss I love your recipes!
I don’t really know about all the different types of protein powders and how they absorb differently but I use this Collegan Peptides in unflavored. It’s low in calories and I mix it in smoothies, hot chocolate, and mix it in Greek yogurt. (I love Greek yogurt and fresh berries for breakfast.)
I’ve used this Nuzest protein powder in the past too. I liked the vanilla flavor, but it doesn’t dissolve fast so it’s better to let whatever you mix it into set a while. I’ve also tried the Alani and Quest brands in ‘fun’ flavors but they were very sweet to me. I hope this helps.
