Tropical and fruity, these 2 Ingredient Strawberry Orange Smoothies are incredibly simple and taste like summer in a glass.
When I returned to work after spending two and a half years at home with our boys, my office was right in downtown Orlando. The maze of one-way streets was intimidating at first, but the variety of lunch spots was a big perk. One coworker — hi Lynn! — was devoted to a chocolate peanut butter banana smoothie from a local shop. I went along to pick up her order one day and tried a simple strawberry orange smoothie that I still make and love today.
Spoiler: the two ingredients are in the title. Still, here they are:
- Frozen strawberries
- Orange juice
Yes, it’s that simple. A few tips will help you tailor the smoothie to your taste. Whole frozen strawberries are just the fruit, so the drink’s sweetness depends on how sweet your berries are. For a sweeter smoothie, pick frozen sliced strawberries packed in syrup or add a little powdered sugar or a sweetener of your choice.
I personally enjoy the tart, tangy balance of whole frozen strawberries with orange juice, but use whatever sweetness level you prefer. You can also use fresh strawberries, though the result won’t be as slushy or icy cold.
About the orange juice: if you like pulp, use it. If you don’t, pick a smooth variety. For a fun twist, try blends like orange-pineapple, orange-banana, or orange-strawberry-banana — they all work well and add extra depth of flavor.
Tools I often use for this recipe include a powerful personal blender for a smooth, slushy texture, pretty tumblers for serving, and paper straws for a festive touch.
These 2 Ingredient Strawberry Orange Smoothies are an easy, refreshing treat that showcase bright, fruity flavors — perfect for hot days or whenever you want a simple, satisfying drink.
