    Testing our marriage.

On TV with Oranges and Sweaty Pits

Guess what I’ll be doing this morning? I will be LIVE and sweating it up, once again, on Fox23’s “Great Day, Green Country” as I share my recipe for Skinny Orange Julius.


I have been asked to share my weirdness and my recipe on LIVE television with the world. (Well, at least the world that lives in or around the Oklahoma area).

 

They just don’t realize what they’ve done.

 


I wanted a skinny version of one of my favorite drinks-Orange Julius.  You can find the step-by-step tutorial, along with a printable recipe for Skinny Orange Julius here.

This recipe is a great just as a beverage, but can also be frozen and eaten as Orange Sherbet-(a skinny alternative to icecream)!



It’s a tasty, low calorie drink and it’s super easy to make. You can either check me out this morning around 10am on Fox 23 “Great Day, Green Country“, or come back here later in the day and I will have the video posted for your viewing pleasure. Either way, you get to watch as I nervously try to perform basic human functions.

Enjoy!

    Testing our marriage.

Skinny Orange Julius w/ Stevia

It’s so beyond summertime here, it’s ridiculous. I’ve been sweating every minute of every day-whether I’m sitting down or vacuuming or doing Crossfit, it’s the same. Stinky sweat and no end in sight.

This brings me always to the same place-I need something cold to drink. But I don’t want to consume my daily caloric intake with one or even two drinks. You can find a printable recipe at the bottom of this post.

(Did you know that the average Starbucks Frappuccino is in the range of 400-500 calories? YIKES!)

I decided to come up with a skinny version of one of my favorite drinks-Orange Julius. The result was a delicious drink without any of the spare tire conversion.

This recipe is a great just as a beverage, but can also be frozen and eaten as Orange Sherbet-(a skinny alternative to icecream)!

 


Here is all that you’ll need to make your own Skinny Orange Julius:

This Recipe makes a Pitcher of 4-5 Servings:
4-5 Peeled Fresh Oranges
4-5 Cups of Ice
1-2 Cups of Water
1/4 tsp Vanilla Creme Stevia

This Recipe makes one serving:
1 Orange
1 Cup of Ice
1/4 Cup of Water or as Needed
2 Drops of Liquid Vanilla Creme Stevia

 

 


In a blender, combine the peeled oranges, adding 1/2 of the needed ice on top.

 


Add the water and pulse until the ice is broken up into chunks. Add to this the other half of ice.

 


Next, add the Stevia.

 


Puree everything until it’s blended, but still a bit chunky.

 


Pour into a chilled glass, prop your feet up and enjoy.

 


Make an extra serving to freeze and enjoy later on as a skinny Orange Sherbet.

Watch out summer, I may have you beat.
