My friend Keleigh knows how much I love orange. For crying out loud, the woman created a custom Orange Sherbet scented tart for me to burn in my warmer. (LOVE her tarts and all the products she sells, check them out at www.keleighbellecreations.com).
Anyway, she texted me the other day with a recipe for an orange push-up smoothie. You can find the recipe here (I don't know how to do the fancy hyperlink attached to "here")
http://www.loveveggiesandyoga.com/2012/01/orange-pushup-smoothie.htmlI don't necessarly like to eat an orange, but I love the smell and taste of orange stuff....pop, muffins, sherbet, pancakes, desert breads, frosting, sugar scrubs, chapstick....you name it. It was one of my biggest cravings when I was pregnant with Clayton. Apparently after 3 years it hasn't gone away.
I whipped up a batch the other night and almost died. SO good. I made it with 1 cup of sugar, but thought it could've used a little more. I vowed next time, I was going to add some vanilla ice cream to make it even more awesome and push-up like. Well, I never made it to the store, but made another blender full tonight. I added about 1 1/4c of sugar this time and thought it turned out a lot better. I had a glass for dinner. *Please note, I didn't have it WITH dinner, I had it FOR dinner.
Keleigh also sent me a link to a 3 ingredient orange cake....that will probably be on the menu this weekend. She blames Pinterest....I haven't taken a peek myself to see all the delicious orange stuff that's probably on there. Maybe that will happen this weekend too!!
Everyone should try these smoothies....for your weekly sugar consumption in a glass if for nothing else. :o)
