I want to start off this Tuesday with an awesome smoothie recipe that I came up with last night. It's a healthy Orange Julius!
It's so delicious, and tastes like an orange creamsicle! I have to admit that I've never really had an Orange Julius, that I can remember at least. I was always more of a Pina Colada Julius kinda girl. :) I always had one whenever we went to the mall, which was pretty often! No wonder I was a chubby kid!
Anyways, please try this recipe out! It's so simple, requires just 5 ingredients, and is only 100 calories! You also don't need any type of fancy blender for this. I just used my good ol' magic bullet! Worked like a charm!
100 Calorie Orange Julius
Makes one serving
Ingredients
- 1 naval orange, peeled
- 1/2 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- 1/4 cup nonfat greek yogurt**
- 1 tablespoon stevia in the raw (or sweetener of your choice)
- 4 ice cubes
- 1/8 teaspoon xanthan gum*
Directions
Add all ingredients in a blender and blend for 45-60 seconds, or until ice is blended in completely. Add a straw and sip away!
*Note: This ingredient is optional, but it does make a thicker smoothie. Just be careful not to add more than 1/8 tsp to your smoothie or it could become very gelatinous. Ick!
**You could use vanilla greek yogurt if you prefer, or that is all you have on hand, and sweeten to your liking. Soy yogurt would work as well for a vegan version. :)
I started up yet another workout schedule again, so we'll see if this will get me closer towards the direction of getting toned up! It's a mix of workouts from both Turbo Fire and Chalean Extreme, with one P90X2 ab video. There is a little bit of everything mixed in through out the weeks. There are 3 days of high intensity cardio, 2 days of weight lifting and 1 day of yoga. I think yoga should be incorporated into any type of workout program, or at least some form of extended stretching. It's a nice reboot from your previous days of hard work!
