While a smoothie may not seem like an obvious camping food, this 3-ingredient smoothie is actually awesome for a quick breakfast on travel days, a post-hiking snack, or an easy camping snack for the kids.
If you're making this at camp, you will need a cooler with a freezer compartment (or access to a RV freezer) and a mini blender. If you're thinking, "A blender? For camping? Really?", hear me out. I always thought it was excessive too, until I got a small portable one. Now it's always in my camping gear for quick smoothies, to whip up a simple tomato vinaigrette for salads, or for an avocado sauce for halibut tacos.

Ingredients and Substitutions
- Yogurt--I use regular vanilla flavored yogurt for my smoothies. For extra protein, swap in vanilla Greek yogurt.
- Frozen mango--This is available in the frozen fruit section of most large supermarkets. You can swap in fresh mango, but if you do, toss in a couple of ice cubes when blending the smoothie to get the right consistency.
How to Make an Orange Creamsicle Smoothie

FAQs
Yes. To get the same flavor, add ¼ teaspoon vanilla to the smoothie mixture. Since flavored yogurts are sweetened, you may want to drizzle in some honey or maple syrup to add some sweetness. Start with 1 teaspoon and adjust to taste.
Definitely. I recommend starting with one scoop, and adjusting to taste. Use plain or vanilla powder for best results.
