Southern Berry Julius made with Silk Fruit

Maybe it’s the southern in us. Or maybe it’s the health nut in us. Or maybe it is that we just like to drink smoothies! We call our new creation a Southern Berry Julius

Hubby is the smoothie specialist in our house. He makes them often and is always coming up with something new. Not sure he ever uses the same ‘recipe’ twice. When I told him that he had to create a smoothie out of Silk Fruit&Protein, he was up for the challenge!

O’Bear and I headed to Walmart to grab what we needed. We found Silk Fruit&Protein in the dairy department near the milk. Easy peasy!

 

It comes in three flavors ~ mixed berry, strawberry banana, peach mango ~ we choose the berry.

Doing his magic!

Have you ever had an Orange Julius? We used to get them all the time back home, but I haven’t seen one in years. Hubby felt inspired to try and recreate the Berry Orange Julius.

Southern Berry Julius

Only four ingredients and ice! He calls it…

Southern Berry Julius

1c of Silk Fruit&Protein ~ Mixed Berry Flavor

1/2 c Orange Juice

1 tsp Vanilla

2c Ice

handful of frozen mixed berries (optional)

Mix all together in blender and voila!

 

We first tested it without the frozen berries. It was good but we were looking for a bit thicker smoothie this time. Once we stuck a few of them in and mixed again…it was perrrrfect!

Southern Berry Julius

And the kiddos agree…YUM!

Which flavor of Silk Fruit&Protein would you buy? What would you make?

Edited to add years later: We still love making this drink. It takes great and so easy to prepare. The kids can do it themselves now!
