There are very few things I love more on this earth (food-wise) than a rich and frosty Orange Julius. It takes me back to junior high getting dropped off at the mall for some after-school shopping with friends. Drinking one always brings a smile to my face.
Lately, we’re trying really hard to eliminate sugar in our diets whenever possible and we try to encourage clean eating. For this reason, I decided to tweak with our classic Orange Julius recipe and create one that I would feel good about my kids eating all the time.
This recipe can be slightly tweaked to be compatible with Whole 30 and is already Paleo, Vegan and clean eating ready. Tailor it for your needs and don’t forget the coconut whipped cream on top!
