It’s time for the monthly installment of The Secret Recipe Club.
This month my assignment was Angela’s Kitchen. Angela has been cooking and baking dairy and gluten free for many years and I was amazed at how she’s been able to transform everyday recipes to enjoy with her and her family’s dietary restrictions. I guess I’ve been blessed and the only real food allergy I need to worry about is my husband’s allergy to crab. It’s not good for me since I love crab, but I still enjoy it when I’m traveling for work.
After browsing through Angela’s recipes, I decided on a drink – mock Orange Julius. I’ve never had a real Orange Julius before so I can’t compare, but this was so tasty and perfect to cool down on a very warm spring day! I threw in some pineapple since I had just cut one up and the combination was perfect!
1/2 cup orange juice
1/2 cup skim milk
1/2 cup fresh pineapple chunks
1 1/2 Tbsp powdered sugar
handful of ice cubes
Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth and creamy. I used a hand immersion blender and it worked perfectly. Pour into a glass and enjoy!
