How about a frozen orange cream drink reminiscent of an Orange Julius and an apple taco?
When I was a kid, I used to love to get an Orange Julius smoothie drink thing at the mall. Of course, these drinks included m mostly unhealthful ingredients like processed sweeteners, bad fats, and artificial colors and flavors. So here’s a novel idea; why not make it with real food?
I had recently stuck a snack bag with orange slices in the freezer. These were the inspiration to try this recipe:
All Natural Orange Julius
1 orange, peeled, separated into sections (seedless), frozen
1/2 cup soy or almond milk (I used unsweetened soy milk)
2 dates
1/2 tsp vanilla
Place dates and soy milk in the blender and blend until dates are completely processed. Add remaining ingredients and blend to desired consistency. Makes about 1 cup or 1 serving
