Remember Orange Julius? The best orange milkshake found at the mall? Apparently the chain still exists, but I haven’t seen one in years, and I’m sure they are terribly unhealthy. Well, I got my fix while in Montreal at Aux Vivres. Ever since I had their healthier ‘Le Creamsicle’ smoothie, I have been trying to recreate it. I used avocado for thickness and left out the dates because I think there’s plenty of sweetness in the fruit juice. It is delicious as a smoothie, or poured into a bowl with toppings added. My latest find is this grain free granola, which goes perfect on top!

This smoothie is my best stab at recreating ‘Le Creamsicle’ from Aux Vivres in Montreal.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 1/4 cup carrot juice
- 1/2 avocado
- 1/4 cup canned coconut milk
Instructions
- Chop up 1/2 a ripe avocado.
- Place in a blender with the liquids and blend until smooth.
- Drink as a smoothie, or pour into a bowl and top with granola.
Notes
Be sure to use canned coconut milk. It will be too soupy if you use the kind from a carton![br][br]Trader Joe’s sells small bottles of carrot juice if you don’t have a juicer or don’t want to make your own.
