Healthy Orange Julius Recipe

by Fit Community 0

Get ready to remember your childhood! FitSugar reader For the Love of Fiber shared this healthful version of a long-standing Summer treat in our Healthy Recipe group.

Think Orange Julius, minus the Julius. This is the PERFECT summer treat on a hot day. Use either fresh orange pulp (if you juice) or a whole orange. Ah-mazing!
