I discovered if I take the orange shake mix, and put it in my smoothie maker with 2 cups of ice cubes and 1/2 cup of ice, and a splash of vanilla, it tastes kinda like an orange julius. I haven’t had one of those in YEARS. It’s really good.

     I also read that some people were sprinkling in cinnamon and butter buds in to their vanilla shake mix and making cinnamon bun shakes. I wrote Butter Buds on my next shopping list, so I’ll get some this week. That sounds like a must-try.

     Another thing I like to do is add in some instant coffee to the chocolate shake for a mocha. it’s not a Frappucino, but it’s still a nice change.

      My other favorite (you can tell I like orange) is to add a ‘to-go’ tube of orange Crystal Light to a vanilla shake, and a splash of vanilla. It tastes like a creamsicle. I really only like it with the 2 cups of ice cubes and splash of water, though. I’m just not crazy about it as a regular drink.

     I wish I had somewhere to put a smoothie maker at the salon. There isn’t anywhere that I could use one without disturbing the customers. I’d love to have these at work, and if the other girls realized how good this stuff could taste, they’d get off my back, lol!
