Now that summer’s in full swing and the temperatures are warming up, we’ve been enjoying these frosty orange drinks almost every day. It’s so nice to come in from working outside and be able to quickly make this drink to cool off. It tastes like an Orange Julius from Dairy Queen.

I add a scoop of collagen peptides to this drink to get some extra protein and health benefits in my diet, but if I’m planning on sharing this drink with one of my daughters, I’ll add 2 scoops to make sure we both get a good serving of collagen.

Another thing I love about this drink is that by adding in the orange with lots of the white pith still attached it provides more than a full serving of vitamin C. Maybe it’s just me, but I’m much more likely to drink this fun drink than to peel an orange and eat it. I quarter the orange and run a paring or tomato knife just under the peel to leave as much of the white pith on as possible. When I’ve got all the other ingredients mixed up, I’ll add the orange quarters to the blender with the ice cubes. Pour into a quart jar or two pint jars. Enjoy and be refreshed!

These stainless steel straws make it easy to make your drink extra special and you won’t ever run out of those plastic straws.

    It’s good, but thin. I wish it was creamier and thicker.

      You could probably make it thicker/creamier by adding some cottage cheese but then it wouldn’t be dairy-free.

    Can you use a whole orange? I wash mine and would use the whole peel, just like I do with my lemons when I make Singing Canary.

      I just googled this and it sounds like people do eat the whole peel and that it has a large amount of nutrients in it. It’s not as sweet as the orange so it might need a tiny bit more sweetener.

    If I don’t care about being dairy free, can I use milk?

      Yes, you can use milk if you’d like, it’s completely up to you. The recipe as written is dairy-free and on plan with Trim Healthy Mama so if you use regular milk it won’t be on plan with either.

    If I did this with unsweetened coconut milk (because of a nut allergy) would it still be considered an on plan THM -E? Thanks!

      The coconut milk probably has too much fat to keep it an E. It would likely be a crossover. But check the label for the fat grams.
