I remember back in the day when we felt like we were too cool for school because we were allowed to go to the mall with our friends. It was during one of those times that a friend introduced me to the orange julius. I quite liked it (probably because of the sweetness) even though I’m not an orange juice-drinking type of person.
For all of you out there that love the taste of an orange julius, this recipe is for you. It’s super simple AND it’s healthier than the original.
PS – When I first made it, I didn’t add any sweetener to it. It was a bit too tangy for Spencer, so I did add a little bit of honey to his.
