Orange Julius Light Smoothies

Yesterday we all had our changes to try the new Light Smoothies at Orange Julius.

And I did try them I actually tried two and let me share with you what I thought of them.

First of all OK they call them Light but they still have 250 Calories so if you use them to loose wait maybe they are still not your best choice. And then it is sweetened with Splenda and I don’t know how healthy those artificial sweetners are.

You also may wonder what is really in this smoothy? I noticed they used some juice, ice, water and a bag of magical powder. So I would think if you are really in to the healthy part and want the light because you want to watch your callory intake maybe it is just better to stay away from even the light smoothies.

If like me you just like the flavor of it then I would say go for it and enjoy. Let me tell you how they tasted.

First I got the Tropical Sunlight it looked nice an yellow and tasted a lot like pineapple and to me that is great because i like pineapple a lot. For me this smoothies was to sweet and specially on a hot day when you want to cool down this would be to sweet for me and would left me with a giant thirst after. For me you could ad more water or ice to make it better. But it is personal so don’t hold me accountable for it

Then I went for the Berry-Pom Twilight this one seemed thicker in consitancy then the first one but maybe it was just the way they prepared it. The flavors of this smoothie is good with tastes of lots of berries and it is not so sweet and that made me enjoy this one much better then the first one and this would be my pick next time.

Besides the two flavors I tried they also have Strawberry delight that i didn’t try yet but this one could be great as well.

If you like Smoothies then I would say go give them a try. And if you are interested then go have a look at THIS COUPON to get 1 dollar off.
