Skinny Orange Dream

 

Skinny Orange Dream
Here’s a skinny orange, light smoothie you’ll really enjoy.  It contains just a handful of ingredients and is so refreshing. Along with orange juice, soy milk, almond milk or reduced-fat milk, it contains vanilla extract. The vanilla softens the hard, acidic edge of the juice and produces a unique flavor, which is fruity and creamy. The milk further softens the blend.  To make it extra skinny, I’ve added a bit of sugar substitute. This is a refreshing, light smoothie for anyone who’s lactose intolerant if you use soy or almond milk. Each drink has 120 calories and 1 gram of fat. So give it a whirl, grab a straw and start skinny sipping!

Notes

Makes 1 smoothie

Food Facts
Soy milk is a drink made from soybeans.  It’s produced by soaking dry soybeans and grinding them with water.

Healthy Benefits
Orange juice is loaded with vitamin C.  One 8 ounce glass supplies 100% of the daily value for vitamin C.
Soy milk contains about the same proportion of protein as milk.  It’s a good source of lecithin and vitamin E.

Substitution Tip
This smoothie also works great with fat-free or reduced-fat milk although I was pleasantly surprised by how great the vanilla soy milk or vanilla almond milk taste in this light smoothie.
