Orange Julius – A Summer Smoothie with NO Added Sugar (she: Leesh and Lu)

Summer’s still in full swing, so start the day off with a cool Orange Julius!

We love a good smoothie and this Orange Julius one happens to be our new favorite! It’s creamy, bursting with orange flavor, has no added sugar, and even offers a protein boost. You don’t have to feel one bit guilty about offering this one to the kids! 

It’s a perfect refreshing treat on a hot day, or fantastic served with brinner. The only thing you have to remember to do is to freeze some of the orange juice into ice cube trays several hours (or days) before you want to make it.  

Using fresh-squeezed orange juice (not from concentrate) will make the orange flavor even more intense and wonderful, but we still love it with orange juice from concentrate, too.  Adding the orange zest in helps with that, too.

Add it to your breakfast menu, or make it for a summer treat and come back to tell us what you think! Enjoy!

Leesh and Lu's Recipe Box is who we are. And you are probably wondering if those are nicknames. They are! Leesh is Alycia, and Lu is Lindsay. We are sisters, just 2 years apart in age. We've always been close! It's so fun to have such a close relationship! We enjoy doing lots of the same things, such as: cooking, baking, eating, being with family, playing games, being outside, being involved in our church and community, crafting, (attempting) sewing, and trying to be organized. We both love to try new things in the kitchen. Not all new recipes we try are share-worthy. We only share recipes here that we try and love. Our motto is, "Tried and True by Leesh and Lu". And not just because it rhymes--because it's the truth. We hope that you will try and love our recipes too!
