This month my assignment was Angela's Kitchen. Angela has been cooking and baking dairy and gluten free for many years and I was amazed at how she's been able to transform everyday recipes to enjoy with her and her family's dietary restrictions. I guess I've been blessed and the only real food allergy I need to worry about is my husband's allergy to crab. It's not good for me since I love crab, but I still enjoy it when I'm traveling for work.
After browsing through Angela's recipes, I decided on a drink - mock Orange Julius. I've never had a real Orange Julius before so I can't compare, but this was so tasty and perfect to cool down on a very warm spring day! I threw in some pineapple since I had just cut one up and the combination was perfect!
1/2 cup orange juice
1/2 cup skim milk
1/2 cup fresh pineapple chunks
1 1/2 Tbsp powdered sugar
handful of ice cubes
Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth and creamy. I used a hand immersion blender and it worked perfectly. Pour into a glass and enjoy!
