Allergy Friendly Orange Julius

This Allergy Friendly Orange Julius is creamy, frothy, and delicious, yet dairy and nut milk free!  

It’s National Food Allergy Week and so I’ve teamed up with a few other bloggers to bring you some delicious allergy-friendly recipes! (Scroll to the bottom of this post for more recipes.)

Did you know there are 8 foods that are responsible for 90% of food allergies? They are: milk, eggs, wheat, soy, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, and shellfish.

Our family has been fortunate enough to not have to alter our diets because of a food allergy, but I know there are so many people out there who have to change what they eat due to an allergy, so I thought it would be fun to re-invent one of my favorite drinks to make it dairy and nut free.

Some of you may be thinking, Orange Julius doesn’t have nuts in it, so of course it’s nut free! Well, a lot of dairy-free people use nut milks, which wouldn’t work for those who have allergies to tree nuts, so this recipe can use rice milk OR coconut milk.

Now, before you get after me for coconut milk being classified by the FDA as a tree nut, let me assure you that coconut is not a common allergen and is not related to tree nuts. If you have a tree nut allergy, consult your physician to find out if you need to avoid coconut.

Orange Julius is one of my favorite breakfast drinks! We also enjoy it in the summer for a dessert-like smoothie. Plus I get to use one of my favorite kitchen appliances, my Blendtec, to make it! Easy and delicious!
