Recipes

I had someone ask for the recipe of the Orange Julius that we made, so here is what my husband used:
1/2 sugar
1/2 container orange juice concentrate
1/4 milk
1/4 water
1 tsp vanilla
and like 12 ice cubes 
(give or take a few depending on your size of cube and how much ice you like in it) 
then 3-5 drops of whatever oil you want. 
I really liked the Citrus Bliss more than just the plain grapefruit! :)

Also, at my house we try to do green smoothies periodically. I, myself, am trying to do one at least once a day for one meal. So for an idea to use with the oils, add a 1-3 drops of your favorite oil into a green smoothie. You could do lemon, grapefruit, lime, Citrus Bliss or Wild Orange. Give it a try and leave a comment with your recipe and how you liked it! :)

Thanks for sharing your Orange Julius Recipe. How many servings is this for? I am going to try and experiment with substituting Stevia or Guava for the 1/2 cup of sugar. You mention green smoothies, may I ask what is your favorite green smoothie? I will report back as to how much Stevia is needed to give it a good sweet taste. Thanks.

Hey! So this recipe makes two large cups full. Perfect for just my husband and I. For green smoothies, I usually just use whatever fruit I have and add spinach to them. I follow Green Smoothie Queen too for recipes. I hope to start adding more veggies to them soon! Keep me posted on your finds!
