I have to admit this is one of the most refreshing smoothies I’ve created to date. As a part of a no-sugar-challenge, I had to come up with seven green smoothies, all of which consisted of some type of green vegetable. My choice for greens were either spinach, kale or both. My husband, Mike and I began a discussion on the best and worst smoothies we had ever had. Mike’s eyes lit up and said, “Orange Julius”, is my favorite smoothie of all time. Flash back to the 70′s & 80′s–shopping malls across America had an Orange Julius store in just about each and everyone. Mike actually remembered the ingredients down to the last ice cube. So in honor of shopping Malls of yesterday…here is my version of an Orange Julius with a little green tossed in.
Orange Passion Smoothie
Ingredients:
1 cup baby spinach (organic)
2 oranges peeled
1/3 cup pineapple juice (unsweetened)
2 egg whites (optional…if you choose to eliminate egg whites add 1/3 cup orange juice or 1/3 additional pineapple juice)
1 cup ice
Directions: Toss all the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.
Another Fit Fabulous smoothie!
