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!

Roasted Prime Rib
When I was a kid this was served at very special meals. My mother made hers plain. I had no idea how incredibly fabulous this meat could taste until I started adding the meat rub!
Zola-fied Berghoff Spinach
The Berghoff is a famous Chicago restaurant. Their creamed spinach is an institution in itself. This is my ZReduction version.
Cranberry Sauce “Zolafied”
Who doesn't love cranberry sauce. Happy holidays!
Cheesy Green Bean Casserole
A traditional holiday classic.
Cranberry Royale (EASY)
This is a takeoff of a cranberry bake recipe from Southern Living. This is homey, tasty, and not too sweet. Just a little cranberry twang but plenty of sweetness in the apples.
Chive Butter Biscuits
This is a combination of a few recipes I found. Love the fact that these are low carb and tasty!
