Ingredients
Instructions

Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, use full-fat yogurt or a flavored yogurt variant. You can substitute the orange juice with another fruit juice like pineapple or apple, depending on your preference. If you want to reduce sweetness, adjust the amount of marshmallow creme. This shake can be customized with added fruits like bananas or berries for extra flavor.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this shake chilled in tall glasses, garnished with a slice of orange or a dollop of whipped cream for added flair. It pairs beautifully with Debbie'S Baked Omelette for a complete breakfast. For a fun twist, consider adding a sprinkle of granola on top for crunch or serve alongside fresh fruit.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To prevent separation, give it a good shake or stir before serving. Avoid freezing, as the texture may change upon thawing. Enjoy cold or let it sit for a few minutes at room temperature for a different experience.
