ORANGE JULIUS

Makes 2 one-cup servings

If you ever enjoyed an Orange Julius at a shopping mall or the county fair you’re in for a real treat, because this one is as good for you as it tastes. It’s quick to make too, if you keep frozen bananas on hand. Just peel the bananas, break them into chunks, and pack them loosely in an airtight container to freeze. They will keep well for about 3 months.

       1 large orange, peeled

       ¼ cup vanilla soymilk or rice milk

       ¼ cup oat bran

       1 teaspoon sugar

       ½ teaspoon vanilla

       1½ cups frozen banana chunks

Combine all ingredients in a blender and process on high speed until completely smooth and thick.
