ever heard of orange julius? these yummy fruit smoothie drinks were a big part of my childhood.
my mother in law gave us a recipe for these glasses of yummy goodness. i haven't made them in forever, but jake and i pulled out the recipe the other day. he's now in love and i have to keep a freezer stocked with frozen orange juice!
you'll need:
6 ounces of frozed orange juice concentrate (or other frozen fruit juice as desired)
1/2 cup of sugar
1 cup of milk
1 cup of water
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
10-12 ice cubes
blend all ingredients together. you do not want to fill the blender with ice. it's not a frozen drink, really, it comes out all frothy like this:
serve with a straw (it definitely tastes better that way) and enjoy! this is the most authentic orange julius recipe i've come across.
and yes, i recognize that milk and orange juice together may make your skin crawl.
you'll just have to trust me.
