ORANGE SMOOTHIE
It's summer, and that means it's time for iced mint juleps, smoked chicken, and potlucks! Swimming, camping, and late evenings playing games. I love summer!
What's your favorite part of summer?
Growing up, as a special treat on hot days, we would stop by the Orange Julius store and get big smoothies. They were so refreshing and so delicious!
I wanted to recreate my favorite Orange Julius drink and share it with you all! I'm sure you've probably had one before and hopefully you'll like this copycat version too!
It's tangy from the orange juice, sweet from the sugar, and deliciously smooth from the milk!

Don't worry, I promise not to spam you!
Do I have to use whole milk?
Nope. You can use 2% or 1% but whole or 2% will make the drink creamier.
Can I use almond milk or another diary free milk?
Absolutely. But just note it won't be as creamy and may have a slightly different taste from the nut milk you use.
Try my homemade almond milk recipe!
What blender do I recommend?
I love using my Breville SuperQ! It's high powered, easy to clean, and makes the best smoothies, soups, and can even make cookies. However, any other high powered blender would work great. A regular blender will get the job done too but it might not be as smoothie- it will still be delicious though!
