This one was unfortunately not for me. Idon't have almond butter so I used peanut butter and that's all I could taste. I am not a huge fan of the taste but we have a lot so I need to use it up. Next time I am going to go for half tbsp instead to see if that works. If I can find almond butter I will try that instead or leave it out completely. I love creamsicles so I won't be giving up on this recipe :p

Hey Alex, sorry to hear it wasn't to your liking! Indeed almond butter is milder in taste than peanut butter. Peanut butter does have the ability to become quite dominant in taste, so almond butter would be the best bet if you can get your hands on it 🤗
Tried it twice already and I personally prefer to juice the orange because the ones we have here have pretty thick pith, but it was great either way!

Thanks for the tip, Chrysiida! 😊

Agreed. I had a navel orange and should have removed much more pith, but I think juicing would be better. Unfortunately a lot of fiber is lost in juicing. I may also try another orange. Here in the US, the fruit and veg look beautiful but have little flavor. This was a challenge for me. The almond butter was really all I tasted. I added a little almond extract that really helped the flavor. I want to try to make it again. It’s very healthy.
I love this smoothie so much as it's so simple and refreshing! I started to make smoothies these days and this smoothie definitely motivates me into trying out more recipes 😆~

Woohoo - thank you, Jenny! In case you're interested and haven't already seen, all of our smoothie recipes can be found here: https://www.pickuplimes.com/r… 🙂
This is such a good smoothie! Basically all your smoothie recipes I always keep in mind for when I have guests over for breakfast. This reminds me of the german "cura maja split"-Icecream.

We're so glad it's being enjoyed, Marie, and love the connection to the recipe 😃
I have no idea what a Creamsicle is and I’ve never tried one, but this smoothie makes me very curious to try😄 The orange flavour is so intense! And the almond butter breaks through so well at the end👌🏻. Although a bit late, I’m so happy that I made this smoothie at the end of orange season (November-April, high season is during winter)

Hehe a creamsicle is basically an orange flavoured ice cream available in North America (perhaps elsewhere as well!) We're so glad you gave the recipe a try and left a review. Thank you, Louise 😄
I would definitely make this again although it didn't taste like a Creamsicle but that might be the type of orange I was using, I'll have to try it again this summer when oranges are in season.

Oo yes sweeter oranges in season may help with the flavour! We hope you enjoy it in summer, Rebecca 😀

Reminds me of an Orange Julius 💖 I added some protein powder to mine. Will make again!
I was thinking of omitting the almond butter to decease the calories. Will this affect the taste?

Теперь самый любимый смузи🔝
I added a teaspoon of vanilla extract and it brings me back to being 10 yrs old again. Simple and delicious. Thank you everyone at the lime!
