Orange Julius Smoothies are refreshing and full of vitamins, with no added sugar. Simple to make and a perfect post work-out snack!
This recipe occurred in a completely natural way. Zach, our 18 year old, was looking for something to snack on, and he decided to make a smoothie. But this time, he said he wanted to use an orange, and he asked me what he should put with it. So I told him to use a banana, milk, yogurt, and maybe some frozen fruit. Well, he decided to skip the frozen fruit and just use ice.
Zach shared his smoothie with me, and guess what? It tastes like an Orange Julius.
But BETTER! 😀
For those of you who have (or haven’t!) had an Orange Julius, you will be pleased. This smoothie has zero added sugar, and I’m sure that the original Julius (the one in the mall) has sugar in it.
Trust me. You do NOT need any additional sugar. It’s naturally sweetened, and tastes AMAZING.
