Remember when you were a kid, and it was summer, and it was hot, and you went to the store for ice cream, and you came home with those orangesicle popsicles?
Ya, you do. I know you do.
Admit it.
And it was gooooooood.
While this isn’t an exact replica, it’s as close as you will ever get as a clean eater. At first, you taste the banana and vanilla. But then you get this aftertaste that is pure orangesicle. Totally zapped me back to being a kid. Those days of spinklers, slip n’ slides, lemonade and blazing heat that could only be remedied with orangesicle popsicles. Those were good days.

(Makes approximately 4 cups)
Ingredients:
- 5 bananas – sliced and frozen
- 1/2 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk (adjust as needed for consistency)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 teaspoon orange extract
- zest of 1 orange
- 1 tablespoon. honey (optional)
Directions:
- Place all ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth.
Note: This cannot be frozen after it’s made. If it’s too much, cut the recipe in half. It’s an “eat-it-all-after-making-it kinda recipe. Also note that using too much of the orange extract can leave a bitter taste in the ice cream. So you may want to start off with a bit less and add to taste if you are very sensitive to those types if tastes.

Yum! I have everything except the orange extract.
This sounds fabulous, I can’t wait to try it. Thank you!!
Anne – Ya, that’s kind of an important component.
Becky – You’re welcome! Enjoy!
When my boys were small, I used to mix yogurt and frozen orange juice and freeze for popsicles. Tasted wonderful!
Marlene – I bet!! Yum!
Hello,
Is it possible to substitute the unsweetened vanilla almond milk for some another type of milk? I live in Finland and I dont know if we have this here.
thanks
Hi Tiffany, I just put some bananas in the freezer! I will make them tonite, can’t wait!, a funny story..ehem…first time I froze some bananas…I did not peel them! duh…;) and I was desperate to make the choco ice cream. I had to laugh at myself lol.
Bia – Yep! You can use any milk you’d like!
Zicela – LOL!! Now that’s what I call being “in a hurry”!
Oh wow, this sounds fabulous Tiffany! I can’t wait to try it. My kids have been begging me to make them popsicles, I wonder if this would work to put into popsicle molds then freeze? Or is it too thick??
Thanks
I am making this tonight! Ill send a review! Thanks for always having something new…You have been working hard! I cannot WAIT to try the sloppy joes too!
Tracy – This won’t refreeze well. In fact, I forgot to add that note to the recipe. I’ll do that now. It’s a make-serve-eat-it-all kinda thing.
wow does that sound pefect!
so it’s okay to use extracts and it’s still clean?
I wasn’t sure about that!
have I thanked you for your amazing recipes????
Hola…! I tried and ;( I think my bananas were too riped perhaps? or maybe I added too much orange extract. sniff, I will try it again with fresh bananos. Gracias Tiffany, (I second that Cindy!)
Zicela – Hmmm. Make sure the bananas are thoroughly frozen, and then add ONLY 2 tsp. orange extract. Let me know how the second batch turns out!
All your ice cream recipes sound SO GOOD! Can’t wait to try them! I am wondering though – do the recipes work best if your bananas are “ready to eat ripe” or “banana bread ready” ripe?
Melanie – Depends on the flavor you want. If you like the banana flavor and want that to really come through, then banana bread ready is good. Personally, I like to use it more as a base and use other flavors. So I always slice mine the moment they are perfectly yellow.
Tiffany 50/50 bars were my favorite -thanks for the trip down memory lane!I will be making this recipe soon
Trudefaith – Happy to help! Hope you enjoy it!
That sucks that it cant be frozen, I wanted to make Popsicles from this.
