Tastes just like an Orange Creamsicle….mmmmmmm:)

blender required

6 medium oranges

2 tsp orange zest

3 bananas, frozen

2 dates (optional)

3 cups ice

3/4 cup almond milk

2 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 macadamia nuts

Instructions:

Grate the orange zest first. Then juice the oranges in a citrus juicer or peel the oranges, deseed, and throw it into the blender. Add the remaining ingredients and blend the heck out of it. Add more ice if needed.

The macadamia nuts help give this smoothie a creamy, buttery taste.

      Defiinitely. A great blender will make almond butter, tahini, smoothies, soups, etc:) You can’t go wrong!

      lol. I had to look up the ingredients in an orange julius. No creamers or sugar or artificial sweeteners/flavors used here.
