Orange Julius Copycat Shake


When I found this recipe for Orange Julius on Tried and Tasty, I knew I had to make it.  I grew up drinking these shakes as a special treat at the mall.  It tastes just like the original and brought back some great memories.

Ingredients:

1 cup orange juice
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 cup ice cubes

Add all ingredients to blender and blend well.  Serves 2.  Enjoy!

Strawberry Banana Smoothie


I remember the carefree days of hanging out at the mall during the summer.  I would ice skate, browse the stores, check out cute boys, and drink smoothies.  Then I was told to get a summer job, so I sold pizza in the food court at the mall.  I would still get a strawberry banana smoothie every day, but life was no longer carefree and easy.  This delicious and refreshing smoothie will cool you down and help you forget your worries, at least for a few minutes.

Ingredients:

1 cup fresh strawberries
2 bananas
1 cup vanilla yogurt
1/4 cup orange juice
1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 cup ice cubes

Add all ingredients to a blender and process until smooth.  Makes 2 large glasses.  Enjoy!

Pineapple Smoothie


It's been so incredibly hot here in Texas this summer. 41 days at or above 100 so far to be exact. My family wanted these homemade calzones for dinner last night, which means the oven was on 450 degrees. Oh my, the kitchen was hot and so was I, which left me craving a fruity and frosty drink.  I made this pineapple smoothie for dessert, and next time I will make a double batch and add some bananas too.  It was delicious!  This recipe makes 2 drinks.

Ingredients:

1 1/4 cups fresh pineapple
1 cup vanilla yogurt
1 cup ice cubes
1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract

Add all ingredients to a blender and process until smooth.  Enjoy!
