Orange Dreamsicle Frothy (Dairy-Free) - Sprinkle Bakes

Share:

I hadn’t planned a blog post for today but this smart little recipe convinced me to go ahead and share. I’ve been on a major smoothie kick for the last few months. My steadfast favorite is bright green because I load it with leafy greens that I don’t get enough of with regular eating. Even though I love my green smoothie I sometimes need a break from it and that’s how I discovered this drink. It’s from one of my favorite out-of-print books called The New Mayo Clinic Cookbook. It’s light and healthful with flavor reminiscent of orange Creamsicle ice cream.

This year I’m trying to make good choices and add brain-boosting nutrition to my diet, and this little treat fits the bill at about 90 calories. Its creaminess comes from silken tofu, so those with dairy restrictions can drink up!

This ‘Frothy’ is not as thick as the usual smoothie, but I like that it gives me energy without weighing me down. I recommend using freshly squeezed orange juice in this recipe, if at all possible. I used beautiful Cara-Cara oranges which are in season and best of all – seedless!

Sounds awesome. I've been trying to eat healthier too & have been on the lookout for healthy smoothie type recipes. You now, to balance out trying out new dessert ones like your champagne cupcakes I made last week for Valentine's Day. Lol.

Love the title! I would have never ever thought of using tofu in a drink! 🙂 What an interesting drink this is!

I like this healthy take on an orange dreamsicle. I've never tried tofu in a drink before.
