Orange Julius Smoothie
Now that winter is here and the holidays are in full sing, we're feeling ready to start eating a little bit lighter and brighter. And of course, in our Good Clean Kitchen “healthy eating” doesn’t mean bland and boring… quite the opposite!
This delicious smoothie tastes just like an Orange Julius (do you remember those from the mall?) but with a healthy green twist! Our version is sugar-free and dairy-free – It’s super satisfying and packed with vitamin C, fiber, healthy fats, and protein. We love it as an energy boosting breakfast or post-workout snack.
Note: We like to use a high quality protein powder to boost nutrition in some of our smoothie recipes. Check out our favorite picks HERE
