Here’s a recipe that is healthy but has a twist of dessert in it. And while sherbet is a dessert item it’s on the healthier side than regular ice cream. But honestly the healthy ingredients outweigh the little bit of sherbet that this recipe calls for.

3/4 cup strawberry nectar
1 cup frozen blueberries
1 banana
1 scoop of raspberry sherbet
1 scoop fat-free vanilla frozen yogurt
1 cup of ice
Directions:
Place all ingredients into a Vita-Mix blender.
Blend on high until desired consistency has been reached.
As far as I know a ‘true’ orange Julius recipe does not use egg whites or eggs at all. But this is definitely a version of an orange Julius worth trying. I don’t recommend drinking it very often as it has quite a bit of sugar in it but it’s ok once in awhile. It’s all about moderation after all!
Ingredients:
1 cup water
1 cup orange juice
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 egg whites
1/4 cup sugar
1 heaping cup of ice
Directions:
Place water, orange juice, vanilla extract, egg whites, sugar and ice into a Vita-Mix blender.
Blend on high until smooth or desired consistency is reached.
Carrots are such a healthy snack! They provide so many vitamins, minerals, enzymes, etc that our body needs. So why not try drinking your next serving of carrots?

1/2 peeled lime

Ingredients:
1/2 to 2/3 cup milk
2 tablespoons Chocolate Syrup
1 cup partially frozen diced bananas
1/3 cup malt powder
1/2 cup chocolate ice cream
