Here is everything you will need to make this chocolate orange smoothie:

• Orange juice: Orange juice is easy to use in orange smoothies and it serves as the liquid needed to blend the smoothie. It also adds plenty of natural sweetness.
• Frozen bananas: Frozen bananas are a must for this smoothie! They need to be frozen so that they create a creamy, chilled smoothie when blended.
• Cocoa powder: Cocoa powder gives this smoothie that chocolate taste!
• Vanilla extract: A splash of vanilla extract will add some flavor to your chocolate orange smoothie.
• Chia seeds: Chia seeds are a great way to add some plant-based protein and healthy fat to your smoothie.
• Maple syrup: I like to add some maple syrup to this smoothie for added sweetness.
• Ice: Ice can be used to thicken this smoothie if you prefer a thicker texture.

Tips and adjustments

Here are some tips to make sure that your chocolate orange smoothie turns out perfect!

• Do not skip freezing your banana! Frozen banana is needed to make this smoothie thick and creamy.
• Add more maple syrup for more sweetness is desired. This is easily adjustable based on your preference.
• If you like a thick smoothie, start by blending everything but the ice. If it isn’t thick enough, add a handful of ice and blend until smooth. Keep adding more ice until your smoothie is as thick as you’d like.
• If you don’t want to add chia seeds to your chocolate orange smoothie, you can simply leave them out.
