Orange Shakes

The other day, we had an abundance of ice and oranges, so we pulled out the VitaMix and made shakes! In the VitaMix cookbook, there is a recipe for orange sorbet - 

2 oranges
2 Tbs. sweetener
4 cups ice 

I added to my shakes- 1 Tbs. vanilla, 1/2 cup milk, and a bit more sweetener, and it tasted great! 

Another one of our favorite orange smoothie recipe is Orange Julia's -

12 cubes ice
6 oz can orange juice
1 c. water
1/2 c. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla

Mix together in blender - super good!!   

Shakes are our favorite summer treat!
