OJ in a Magic Bullet

Plan Z Phase: This is a Z2 (ZReduction) recipe.

Traditional orange juice is not allowed on Plan Z because when you remove all the pulp (the fiber) what’s left is a whole bunch of sugar. But, if you have a magic bullet or a high-powered blender, you can enjoy a liquefied, blended orange – as long as you blend the whole orange and don’t strain the pulp. I started making this for my 1-year-old son as a refreshing treat on hot days. It was so good, my husband started asking him to make it for him, too! Refrigerate your orange before blending and your slushy orange drink will be fresh, frothy, and a little frosty. Yum-yum good. On ZReduction, this is one of your fruit servings for the day.

Servings: Serves 1

Ingredients:

1 seedless orange

Ice

Instructions:

Peel your orange and remove the thick white pith. Then split it into wedges and remove the inner core. Chop your wedges into blendable pieces. Put the orange bits into your Magic Bullet along with a few ice cubes.

Whiz until blended and smooth. It will be bubbly and frothy. Depending on how much ice you use this will yield about a cup of frothy orange liquid pulp. Eat it with a spoon, or chew it as you drink 🙂

Enjoy!
