Running around the yard, playing in the sprinklers was the best part of summer. Our parents/baby sitter always topped it off by coming into the backyard with those delicious orange push ups. I remember sitting on the decks, steps or sidewalk dripping wet and sticky from the amazing taste of those push-ups.
Now enters the day I found an amazing recipe from Pinterest by a user (Averie Cooks) claiming that this smoothie tastes just like the orange push up. Of course I was judgmental at first, I mean how can anyone recreate the amazing taste! Then of course I had to try it. Honestly, it is a cheap recipe. And why not?
So glad I did!
Look at that yummy concoction! Sorry for it being a phone picture but honestly, it doesn't last long in anyone's hands.
It taste's amazing, just like an orange push up and perfect for a hot summer day. My kids love them, when they see me buy the frozen juice they know exactly what they are going to have on a hot day.
Here is the recipe:
Orange Push-Up Smoothie
1 can orange juice concentrate, slightly thawed (Hawaii's Own Mango Orange is the best)
1 C. Milk (half and half, cream, nut milk or soy milk also work)
1/2 C. Sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
2 C. Ice, or to taste
Combine all ingredients (except ice) in a large blender. Blend until smooth and the sugar and dissolved well. If you like you can add more milk or water. Add the ice and blend until smooth.
Makes about three 8 oz portions.
She also has several more smoothie recipes at the above link. I can't wait to try those out as well!
