Description

This fun twist on both green smoothies and a classic Orange Julius is my new favourite spring recipe. It’s creamy, vibrant, sweet, thick, vanilla-y and oh so orange even though it’s green. I promise, you won’t taste that spinach. Go ahead and take the plunge! To your very good health!

Ingredients

  • 1-½ cup Milk (whole, 2%, 1%, Or Skim)
  • 1 cup 100% Orange Juice Concentrate
  • 1 cup Fresh Baby Spinach
  • 1 whole Peeled Large Banana, Frozen And Broken Into Chunks
  • 1 teaspoon Real Vanilla Extract

Preparation

Pour milk into a blender carafe first and then add the remaining ingredients. Fix the blender lid in place and blend on high until smooth.

Note: If you have a less high-octane blender, you may want to stop the blender and move things around with a wooden spoon or spatula a couple of times.

That sounds really great. I’ve been using OJ and milk and fresh berries in my morning drinks all week. I’ll have to give this one a try.

the orange juice concentrate was a bit overpowering for me. in the future I think I would do part frozen oj and part fresh oj to see if that helps balance the flavors for me

This was so good! The best green smoothie I have had! I did use almond milk in place of the regular milk. It was awesome!

YUM. YUM. This was wonderful. We’re (never ending, recycled) W.W. so we wish we knew the “points” on this. But, we figure we’re getting our fruits and veggies and THAT can’t be a bad thing! Thanks for a Keeper!

Thanks Rebecca! My 5 year old son and I both enjoyed this. I even told him that there was spinach in it and he still wanted more.

Yum. I added a little extra OJ and substituted 1/4 cup plain yogurt for some milk (since we were low and needed to reserve for coffee)!
