The weather has been out of control the last few days! We hit 78 degrees on Tuesday and I really thought I was in heaven! Because of the beautiful weather I have been craving something cold in the last few days so I decided to whip up an Orange Julius. This is my version of a healthier Orange Julius (with banana)!

- 1 Can of Frozen Orange Juice Concentrate (I used Walmart Brand)
- 1 Cup Skim Milk
- 1/4 cup sugar (some people like to add 1/2 a cup... but I really think 1/4 cup is just fine)
- 1 tsp of vanilla
- 1 ripe banana
- 1 to 2 cups of ice (I did 1 cup so it was smooth enough to go through my girls straws)
Put all ingredients in the blender and blend until smooth. My little girls loved this Orange Drink so we took the left overs and made them into popsicles. They loved them even more frozen!
We have been having weather in the 80's for the past week - unheard of, I LOVE it! This smoothie sounds so yummy. I will have to make some, I know my family would love it! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteSounds delicious ... I definitely will be making these! :-D
ReplyDeleteI have those glasses! Target? The recipe looks yummy. Pinning it. :-)

Going to try this, but I will replace the sugar with agave nectar so it will have a lower glycemic index.
ReplyDeleteBig or little can of OJ?
ReplyDeleteLittle can! Thanks for your question!
ReplyDeleteWhat a simple ingredient recipe! I looooove when my daughter (7yrs old) can be hands on in the kitchen. Looking forward to trying it!
ReplyDeleteUsed regular size can because I've never even seen a small can. Threw it out before I read the comments. It was horrible. Not sure if I'd try again. Wish the recipe would have specified a small can because a big can is the norm.
ReplyDeleteSounds very tasty!
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking to a Round Tuit!
Hope you have a fabulous weekend!

I think I'm in the same boat as Sara, I used a regular sized can and it has a weird after taste. I added a bit more sugar and some extra banana to make it bearable, but I don't think I'll make it again.
ReplyDeleteIs a half-can the same size can as the small can? Because I've got a half-can left in my freezer from where I only used half to make orange chicken in the crock pot. I've seen the small cans before, but I've never actually noted the size!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it's pretty close.
