I really enjoyed this! I too used regular orange juice and instead of cow milk I used almond milk. Thanks Anme!

What a sensational smoothie! I could become addicted to these little babies! I had to fight for the glass with my DD. Excellent breakfast drink, but great anytime! I just used an orange instead of the blood orange, as there were none in the store I went to. Still tasted excellent!

I can only echo the other reviews. It's marvelous. I skipped the jam rim and had to use regular o.j.. It's refreshing, filling and healthy! :D

Yummy! We had this after our after supper walk and is was nice and cooling. We didn't do the rim as I don't have fancy glasses LOL. I did as the other reviewers and used regular orange instead of blood orange (blood oranges are hard to find in my area). We did use strawberry yogurt and it totally intensified the flavor. I love the idea of adding honey and vanilla! Will be making this often!

WOW! Here's a different comment than the others it's recieved: this is honestly the closest thing I've had to a McDonald's strawberry shake in all my vegan years. Perfect consistency, sweetness, vanilla-ness :-) I used regular o.j. and strawberry soy yogurt, and soy milk. I probably would have added some ice but I was hurrying out the door. It was fabulous! So glad I tagged it!!
