Thank you to Sunkist for sponsoring this post

I had to include the word “dream” in the name of this recipe because it’s such a dream the way these flavors all work together. This smoothie is simple, straightforward and oh so satisfying! It kind of reminds me of those frothy orange drinks we all drank in in the 80’s we’d get from the mall food court except the homemade version tastes way better and I know exactly what’s going in there. Plus this one is actually good for you because I’m using Sunkist Cara Cara oranges. They’re considered the power orange because just one Cara Cara provides 100% of your daily Vitamin C intake. It’s a no brainer for me that these should be in your daily rotation to keep your immunity up! They’re also a good source of fiber and rich in folate and if you’re like me-you start looking for them around December (they are available December through May). Sunkist Cara Caras are extremely sweet, with a slightly lower acidity level than navel oranges, super juicy, seedless and have a beautiful rich pink hue to them. In this recipe I include that you could add honey to sweeten but it’s totally optional since the Cara Cara is already sweet.

I just know you and your family are going to love this smoothie. GO watch my latest IGTV to see me make it with Sonny! The recipe is so simple, the flavor is straightforward- creamy, luscious, packed full of Vitamin C and feels like such a treat! Be sure to watch my latest appearance on KTLA where I featured my Sunkist Cara Cara Creamsicle Dream Smoothie as a healthy and easy activity to make with your children.

There's something about creamy frozen fruit made soft serve style that makes me feel like I'm eating ice cream for breakfast.  I had the chance to create some easy breakfast recipes while I visited the Chick-fil-A headquarters recently and my smoothie bowls were a huge hit.  This is a staple at Casita Amazing, so much so, that our freezer is always stocked with all the must haves. You can get the recipe and read all about my trip by heading to the Chick-fil-A blog, The Chicken Wire!  Then come back here and let me know what your favorite smoothie bowl combination is!

Every morning Mr. A and I have breakfast together. Sometimes I make him bacon & eggs or a big breakfast sandy but most mornings he is in the kitchen making us smoothies. He seriously makes the best smoothies. They're the perfect consistency and I love the flavors of all the fruit combinations he comes up with!
