Super easy smoothie!

I'm a coupon whore...and therefore end up with things in my fridge or pantry that I don't really know what to do with, simply because they were free or nearly so. Because of this, I stumbled upon another accidentally delicious recipe.

Remember when you would go to the mall and get an Orange Julius? I have fond memories of these frozen treats-raw egg and all. I recently re-created my own version of this wonderful beverage-inadvertently due to the nearly free half gallon of vanilla Almond Breeze I obtained last week.

Here goes:

In blender combine the following:

1C Vanilla flavored Almond Milk
1/2 C Orange Juice
1/4 C Pineapple Juice
Ice (amount required for desired thickness) perhaps 1C or more

Blend until smooth, creamy and delicious. Possible subs or additions would be strawberries and/or bananas, but I was happy with this as-is.

Enjoy on a hot day, my kids adored it!

  2. We made this today. I didn't have juice, so we threw in fresh orange chunks and frozen pineapple chunks. Delicious and so refreshing!
