Orange Julius Green Smoothie




I get so excited when Healthy Food or drinks taste like the not so healthy version!

I was surprisingly happy when I made this green smoothie this afternoon. It really does taste like the original Orange Julius.

This recipe is a refreshing smoothie packed with Vitamin C that will help arm you against harmful free radicals that cause diseases. Plus, it is a filling alternative to eating a full meal. This is a great as a meal replacement or a breakfast power drink.

Enjoy!!!

2 cups spinach
1 1/2 cups freshly squeezed orange juice
1 piece pitted date (pre-soaked)

1/2 cup almond milk
1/2 cup ice cubes

1.)Blend spinach, milk and orange juice until smooth.
2.) Add in the rest of the ingredients and continue to blending until thoroughly mixed.
3.) Pour into glass and serve immediately.
