Tasty Tuesday

Here is a family favorite smoothie recipe in our house!  My boys love it (tastes like an orange julius).

Easy Breezy Tropical Orange Smoothie
With only four easy ingredients, this smoothie contains a boost of vitamins and is a light and refreshing way to start your day.


Ingredients
  1. I large Orange, peeled (or use 1/4 cup orange juice)
  2. I Banana, peeled
  3. 1/2 cup Frozen Pineapple
  4. 1/2 cup Almond Milk
Instructions
  1. Combine all ingredients into your blender. The frozen pineapple (or whatever frozen ingredient you go with) should be the last one added.
  2. Blend on high until completely smooth, about one minute.
  3. Pour into a glass and enjoy.

This smoothie is adaptable too. You could swap the frozen pineapple for fresh and go with a frozen banana instead. Then again, you could opt to use fresh everything and toss in a scoop of ice.  Frozen mango is another yummy addition! Don’t like almond milk? Orange juice makes a mighty fine substitute. I’ve had it both ways and while the almond milk sure does make it extra creamy and delicious, the OJ is equally as successful. That’s the beauty of smoothies. They’re easy.
