This morning Carlos made me an Orange Julius for me just the way I like it. When I tasted it, I could not wipe the “this is pretty nasty” look off of my face. I was feeling a little guilty for acting like that too, and I couldn’t figure out what he could have done to it!
Turns out he had bought non-organic oranges because he went to the “traditional” grocery store instead of the local organic market where I usually buy all of our produce. AMAZING the difference! I literally couldn’t drink it!!
He was a VERY good sport about it and offered to make his usual fruit salad with the organic oranges we still had in the fridge. (He didn’t know they were hiding in the drawer!) Such a simple recipe but always a treat!
INGREDIENTS
1 apple, diced
2 oranges, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 bananas, sliced
1/4 of a large pineapple, core removed and diced
1 orange, juiced
INSTRUCTIONS
Just chop up your fruit, then top it with the orange juice. (That’s the secret! Without the OJ, it is just not the same!)
When I make this during berry season, I always add some berries for color. Otherwise, it’s just like sunshine. 
Carlos is such a good guy
