A REFRESHING SUMMER DRINK, PLEASE!
Ready for a refreshing summer drink? Summer fun-drinks are some of our favorite. My kids love this Whole30 Creamy Orange Julius blender drink. It’s so smooth and creamy and with the bright orange flavor, they ask for it again and again. With only 4 ingredients, I love making it for them (hello, quick snack!) and all the ingredients are whole foods! The key ingredient for this healthy drink is orange juice concentrate. To keep this drink healthy, refined sugar-free, AND Whole30-friendly, be sure to use the orange juice concentrate that is 100% pure orange juice concentrate. There are several kinds out there that have sugar (or even corn syrup!) added.
SUCH AN EASY BLENDED DRINK
We have been loving this drink with breakfast (served with my new Gluten-free Berry French Toast) or we bring it to the pool with us for a refreshing cool drink halfway through our afternoon swim session. It’s an easy drink to quickly blend up! You literally just toss 4 ingredients into a blender, blend for about a minute, and pour it into a glass. Or into mason jars with a lid for easy on-the-go drinks!
HOW TO MAKE THIS DRINK
Let’s get right to making this fun drink! First, you’ll need to gather the frozen orange juice concentrate, dairy-free milk (I use soy milk for a boost in protein), vanilla extract (watch the ingredient list here too for sneaky added sugars!), and ice cubes.
In a high-speed blender, add one cup of orange juice concentrate, one cup of dairy-free milk, one teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 2 cups of ice (or 12 ice-cubes). Place the lid on the blender and press the ‘smoothie’ button. (Or blend on high for 45-60 seconds) Pour into two tall glasses and serve! Garnish with a fresh orange slice if you would like.
- 1 cup orange juice concentrate
- 1 cup dairy-free milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups ice cubes (about 12 ice cubes)
-
In a high-speed blender add all of the ingredients. Place the lid on the blender and press the 'smoothie' button (or blend on high for 40-60 seconds). Remove the blender from the base and pour the drink into two glasses.
