I was thinking the other day how you never really see a solely orange-based smoothie, and I missed that orange creamsicle-like flavor from one of my favorite stops at the mall, Orange Julius, as a kid. So, I sought out to recreate one with all natural ingredients, and it's since been my favorite treat this week. I combined one container of Chobani Champions Orange Vanilla yogurt {perfect size for making one smoothie!}, a Jolly Llama mango sorbet pop, and freshly squeezed orange juice in the blender {no ice needed because of the cold pop}…and voilà…orange creamsicle smoothie goodness! — Joy

So tasty! Can’t wait to try it out! The taste of orange is so good by itself.
I think that Ruby will LOVE making smoothies with you in a few years…
Mmm…
p.s. – I like everything in this photo. 🙂
mm this looks so creamy and delish, thank you for sharing the recipe!
Not exactly the same thing, but there’s a Dominican drink that combines milk and orange juice called Morir Sonando (there should be a tilde on the first n in Sonando)

I’ve seen it in places in my neighborhood but never tried it. No idea if the recipe is any good … just thought it might be of interest.
This looks fabulous, and the photo is beautiful (as usual). I always crave Orange Julius and figured out how to make them myself a few years back. This is also all natural (though if you are one who believes that fat that comes from creams is bad for you, it likely is not for you. I am a Nourishing Traditions believer, so this is all pretty healthy by those beliefs):
Whip cream in blender before adding other ingredients
Cream
Fresh squeezed orange juice
Ice
vanilla
agave nectar to sweeten (you could use sugar, too, of course)
Tastes EXACTLY like Orange Julius (we ran across one of the stores at a outlet mall in NJ last summer, so the taste was fresh when I refined the recipe).
Orange Julius and Miller’s Outpost!! That’s my tween days right there! I’ll have to whip this up, thanks for sharing, joy!
love this simple, easy recipe. plus, my magic bullet really does need to be put to work.
Jeni,
I use the Magic Bullet too for smoothies! The best!

The jolly llama, cute name!
I wish I had this in front of me, yum!
