Orange Julius Smoothie
Servings: 1
This Orange Julius smoothie blends two whole oranges, frozen banana and almond milk into the creamy, citrusy taste of the mall classic, with a cup of spinach hiding inside. Add a splash of vanilla to make it even more like the original, ready in 5 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 cup spinach
- ¼ cup almond milk
- 2 oranges
- ½ banana frozen
Instructions
- Pour the almond milk into a blender. Add the spinach and oranges and blend until smooth.
- Add the banana. Blend on high until smooth, 45 to 60 seconds, adding a splash more liquid if it's too thick. Pour into a glass and serve immediately.
Notes
- Milk Swaps: Hemp, cashew or coconut milk all work in place of the almond milk. Use unsweetened for the brightest orange flavor.
- Flavor Tip: Add 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract for a flavor closer to the original Orange Julius.
- Lower Sugar: Swap the banana for 1/4 avocado for a creamy, less sweet smoothie. Here's how to cut an avocado.
- Storing: Best fresh, but it keeps in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Shake before drinking, since the orange can separate.
