When I was a kid I *loved* a nice orange creamsicle dessert pop. Â You know the ones, right? Â Super yummy.
So what if… Â I recreated this as a delicious, healthy juice? Â Â
YES!! Â I did.
It IS summertime, after all and my Orange Creamsicle Juice Recipe is perfect for a hot weather treat.Â
It’s deliciously dairy-free!
Ingredient BenefitsÂ
ORANGES Â Oranges are full of vitamin C and antioxidants. Â They are an excellent source of fiber, beta-carotenes, vitamin
A, several B vitamins, and minerals like calcium, copper, iron,
manganese, phosphorus, potassium and zinc. Â The combination makes
oranges effective when you want to try to maintain your overall health
and well-being. Animal studies indicate that the hesperidin in orange (a citrus
flavonone) has strong anti-inflammatory properties and can lower blood
pressure and blood cholesterol.
FULL FAT COCONUT MILK Full fat coconut milk not only tastes heavenly, it’s amazing for you. Â Here are the things I love about it.
- May lower blood pressure and cholesterol.
- Can help build muscle.
- Helps prevents fatigue.
- May help you lose weight.
- Improves digesiton.
- Relieves constipation.
- Helps to manage blood sugar.
When paired with fruits or sugars it slows the digestion into your bloodstream so that your insulin doesn’t spike.
