Orange Cream Delight Smoothie

It's peak citrus season again and I have been enjoying those insanely delicious little satsumas while they've been on special in past weeks. Recently, oranges have been on special and I have been loving them in this smoothie as a mid-morning snack or after dinner treat.

This is what I imagine Orange Julius to taste like (are those mall food court places even still around??). A slightly slushy, creamy orange drink with a hint of vanilla.

Ingredients

  • 1 orange, peeled
  • 1 Medjool date, pitted
  • 1/2 vanilla bean or 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp raw cashews or brazil nuts
  • Pinch salt
  • 6-8 ounces water
  • 2-3 ice cubes, optional

Method

  1. Combine all ingredients in a high speed blender until smooth.

The nuts and water can be substituted for your favorite nut milk. I think almond would be great in this!
