Creamy Clementine Smoothie

Creamy Clementine Smoothie

If you are a child of the 80's as I am, you may have a secret love and fond nostalgia for Orange Julius. I loved them. Now, I know they are still open (and in fact, we have one at our mall), but I can't really bring myself to get them anymore. I remember hearing a buzz that they are full of weird stuff (surprise surprise), but I just googled it and found out the ingredients officially are: orange juice, sweetener, vanilla flavoring, milk, and....wait for it...powdered egg whites. Um, OK. No thanks. So, thanks again to Pinterest files and my desire to make the most delicious dinner possible on our 'scrounge' night, I give you a fabulous smoothie perfect for seasonal winter time (er, Spring???) fruit. My children adored this, and we had a fun little chat telling them about our Orange Julius loving days of childhood.  It was an awesome use of my last 2 bananas.
