- 1/2 cup low-fat frozen vanilla yogurt
- 1/2 cup ice cubes
- 1/4 teaspoon grated orange peel
Garnish
- Fresh blueberries (for garnish)

Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all the ingredients including blueberries, orange juice, low-fat frozen vanilla yogurt, ice cubes, and grated orange peel. Ensure the blueberries are fresh or properly thawed if frozen for best texture.
- Blend Smoothie: Place the blueberries, orange juice, frozen yogurt, ice cubes, and grated orange peel into a blender. Blend on high speed until the mixture is thick and smooth, making sure the ice is fully crushed and incorporated.

Notes
- For a colder and thicker smoothie, use frozen blueberries and frozen yogurt directly without thawing.
- You can substitute orange juice with freshly squeezed orange juice for a more natural flavor.
- Adjust sweetness by adding a small amount of honey or a natural sweetener if desired.
- This smoothie is best consumed immediately to preserve freshness and nutrient content.
- For a dairy-free version, replace the frozen yogurt with coconut or almond milk yogurt.
