Orange Jazzulous Smoothie Anyone?

This morning our family decided to bike to breakfast as part of our family day.  Since school is starting soon we are creating mini “staycations” everyday and loving it!

As it turned out our bike ride was extended to include a trip to the zoo to ride the camels (where my son happily informed me that petting a camel felt kind of like the end of my pigtail braids, but just a little softer!)

By the time we headed home we had about 6 miles under our tires, the heat was 95+ and the humidity rising rapidly.

Naturally I was thinking of a refreshing and fast smoothie to make to beat the heat.

What I thought of first was the ultimate orange smoothie recipe.  It is so popular that an entire business exists because of it.  Thank goodness for Orange Julius!  Think about it, they made smoothies mainstream and cool!

As to not infringe on their trade name, I put a musical spin on it… ; )

Orange Jazzulous Smoothie:

1 Tray of Ice

3 Ripe Bananas

1 Cup of Orange Juice

1 Cup of Almond Milk (or Whole Milk)

1 Teaspoon of Vanilla

 

Directions for the Orange Jazzulous Smoothie:

Chop up 1 tray of ice

Add  3 bananas

Add 1 cup of Almond Milk

Add 1 cup of Orange Juice

Blend

 

Sit on your porch and enjoy!

 

This smoothie is so fast and healthy ice cream doesn’t have a chance!  At least in our house ; )

 

Enjoy!
