Oh, sweet summertime… It takes me back to the days of playing hide and seek until the streetlights came on, drinking straight from a hose, and chasing down the ice cream truck after hearing the infamous jingles from several streets away. I recall one of my favorite sweet treats being an orange creamsicle. With its creamy vanilla ice cream covered in a delectable orange-flavored popsicle, nothing could beat the heat quite like this delightful flavor combination.

Needless to say, I was over the moon when I heard BioTRUST Nutrition was unveiling an Orange Creamsicle flavor of their Low Carb Lite Protein Blend. I was curious how this would stand up to the orange creamsicle I was so fond of as a child. My mouth was watering, and my taste buds were tingling with anticipation.

When I first unsealed the bag, I was immediately taken back to my childhood. I felt like I was standing in front of the ice cream truck’s window with my beaming smile and large eyes filled with wonder. The unsealing of the bag felt just like the ripping open of the cellophane wrapper. The aroma of the powder could not have been any closer to the familiar popsicle I once indulged in.

While this is fantastic with just eight ounces of water, I wanted to create a smoothie recipe that included some healthy fats and good carbs and one that was more like a creamy frozen treat than a shake. I hope you enjoy!
