When my children are sick (and therefore ridiculously picky eaters like most kids are when they’re under the weather) this is filling (if you make it with whole milk) while giving them a boost of vitamin C that’ll help heal their colds. Also, the nice thing about this smoothie is that you likely already have everything you need on hand to whip it up.

About Amanda

I'm Amanda. I started Natural Mommie in 2009 and have been turning mommies from eco-weak to eco-chic ever since! Having an intense addiction to sparkly pink strawberry flavored lipgloss and never claiming to be perfectly green I vowed to not give up my hip mama self once I became a mom and wanted to bring a little more organic into my life. My closet still isn’t full of organic cotton and bamboo, but it’s getting there!

    Wow! I haven’t had an Orange Juiius in ages–thanks! And you’re right–I have everything in the kitchen right now.

      Brings back childhood memories for me…I remember always getting them when my mom and I went on a “big” shopping trip to the city. They were such a treat!

    Sounds good. I would use whole milk keifer I ferment and vanilla stevia instead of the sugar and fresh squeezed OJ.

    These were my favourite when I was little. I am definitely going to try making some of these this weekend!

  7. Megan Powell says:

    I wonder if vanilla Almond milk would give it an odd flavour or if it would still taste alright? I may try that instead…

    • Amanda says:

      It definitely wouldn’t taste as creamy and the consistency might be a little off since it’s not made with whole milk, but I bet it would still be yummy!

  8. This was so good. I love it.

  9. CaroleM says:

    Made this tonight – easy, yummy, and a heck of a lot cheaper! And it makes a decent 4 servings.

  10. Megan Powell says:

    I ended up making it with regular milk and it was delicious! Next time I may try almond but not so sure how that will go with the OJ…

  11. Lys says:

    Nice and easy recipe! I tried it also with almond milk and it is very good.

    Simple but effective I should imagine, I will have to make it for my kids when they are poorly. Would be nice with some yogurt as well.

    Thanks for posting this lil pick me up recipe. I will say that we subbed the milk for almond milk and skipped the sugar. It came out so frothy and delicious.

    i used 1/4 cup of sugar not 1 tbsp… so try 1/4 cup of sugar
