Instructions

Add the milk to a high-speed blender first.
Add the orange segments, plain Greek yogurt, fine sea salt, and vanilla extract.
Add the ice cubes.
Blend on low for 10 seconds, then increase to high and blend for 35–50 seconds until completely smooth.
Check consistency. If too thick, blend in 1–2 tablespoons additional milk; if too thin, add a few extra ice cubes and blend again.
Pour into a 16-ounce glass and serve immediately.

Tips

Use freshly peeled orange segments for best flavor. Substitute with orange juice in a pinch but reduce added liquid accordingly to maintain creaminess.
