Healthy Orange Julius: A Healthy Version
When I was a kid, my Mom would often take us to our local mall. In that mall, they had an Orange Julius shop and every time, my Mom would buy us all a small Orange Julius.
Now, I LOVE Orange Julius’s. They are fresh, zingy, sweet, tart, creamy, and healthy… at least, I used to think they were healthy.
Imagine my heartbreak when I found out that my beloved Orange Julius is FULL OF SUGAR! Ahhhhhhh.
Lets just say that this was a somber day in my house.
It’s been years since I’ve tasted of my favorite luscious treat and every time I pass the shop in our local mall, my heart breaks a little.
Then, a thought crossed my mind! A delicious and wondrous thought… What if I can make a HEALTHY version of my beloved Orange Julius.
And you know what… I did it.
Not only did I do it, but I’m about to share the recipe with you.
This recipe is not only Vegan, all natural, and high in vitamin C, it’s DELICIOUS. Because of this, my kids want me to make it every day!
Even better news – there are only 4 ingredients.

Tip: This is a great drink to make when you or your kids are sick! I’ve even added Emergen-C to it. It changes the flavor a bit, but Emergen-C has helped us blast colds and viruses on many occasions.
Here’s a link to Emergen-C and all natural Vanilla! If you are an Amazon prime member, saver yourself a trip to the grocery store and save a little money as well.
