My kids love the Orange Dream Smoothie from Jamba Juice so I figured out a way to make it at home with healthier ingredients...
You need - 8 oz Orange Juice - 1 Cup of Ice - 4 oz vanilla yogurt
I have a juicer, and juice almost every day, so I make carrot-orange juice for this and they get the added benefit of drinking some veggies in the morning to start their day. I throw about 5-6 Cuties in the juicer with 1 medium carrot, the carrot actually sweetens the orange juice and if I didn't tell them it was in there they'd never know. The only reason they know it's in there now is because they watched me make it one day but they were so used to drinking it so it didn't phase 'em. If you don't have a juicer just use your favorite fresh orange juice.
For the vanilla yogurt I use Activia. It's what I had on hand one day and they liked it just as well as regular vanilla yogurt.
Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend on high until the ice is fully crushed. Easy!
And yes, those are the plastic cups you get in restaurants for the kiddos.. and yes, I take them home with us! Free reusable plastic cups are great for drinks and even crafty time in our house!
