Um how can I do this with Oranges?? I am a creamcicle fanatic!
I think this would be just as good without the added sugar. The strawberries are naturally sweet and most of the milk alternative beverages have sugar in them as well…more than enough. Even if you get an unsweetened milk (I get the unsweetened soy), the sugar in the strawberries added with the flavor of the vanilla will surely make it just as good.
Aw you’re killing me… I’m sitting at work, with a lousy cold. This looks sooooooo good but I wouldn’t taste a thing… 🙁
