For More Fresh Orange Flavor

Replace the orange sherbet with 1–2 peeled frozen oranges for a naturally sweet, fruit-forward smoothie.

Dairy-Free Option

Substitute the orange sherbet and frozen yogurt with:

Dairy-free vanilla coconut milk ice creamDairy-free orange sorbet

Directions

Step 1: Add the Liquid Ingredients

• Pour the soy milk and orange juice into the blender first. Starting with the liquids helps the blender work through the frozen ingredients more easily.

Step 2: Add the Frozen Ingredients

• Scoop in the orange sherbet and vanilla frozen yogurt.
• Top everything with the ice cubes.

Step 3: Blend Until Smooth

• Blend on low speed for several seconds to begin breaking up the ice.
• Increase the speed to high and continue blending until the smoothie is silky smooth, thick, and creamy with no remaining chunks.
• If necessary, stop the blender once to scrape down the sides before blending again.

Step 4: Serve

• Pour the smoothie into chilled glasses.
• Serve immediately while cold and frosty.
• Enjoy!

Tips for the Best Orange Dream Machine

Use chilled orange juice. Cold ingredients create the best texture without needing extra ice.

Blend thoroughly. A smooth, creamy consistency is what makes this smoothie taste just like the original.

Frozen oranges are a great substitute if you want even more natural citrus flavor.

Serve right away for the freshest taste and thickest texture.
