Orange Julius

My tree is still loaded, so I’m loving every minute of the extra-fresh, juicy, sweet oranges…and Vitamin C!

Looking for more orange ideas? How about the creamy, childhood-classic, Orange Julius. Try it out:

6 small oranges*
1-2 trays ice cubes (use more if you like it thinner, less if you like it thicker)
3 scoops Vanilla Protein Powder**
Peel from 1/4 of an orange

Blend all ingredients in high-powered blender.
Garnish with an orange slice and enjoy!

Makes 4 cups.

*freeze extra orange sections to enjoy them fresh all year.

Variations:
Add 1/2 banana and exchange 1-2 oranges for 1 cup pineapple.

 

**I like Garden of Life’s Raw Protein–Vanilla. An organic whey protein (grass-fed) would be delicious if you can tolerate dairy. OR try 1-2 Tbsp dried coconut milk powder and a few drops of vanilla extract for dairy-free, creamy deliciousness.
