Orange Julius



Jude's preschool teacher shared this recipe with us after she made these for his 
class during "orange week." They were a huge hit with the kids and Jude 
was especially excited to enjoy this school treat at home.  
(And who can resist a little extra vitamin C this time of year?)

Orange Julius:
6 oz. frozen orange juice concentrate (half of a frozen can) 
1 cup milk
1 cup water
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
8 ice cubes

(**I found it was easy to get the concentrate out of the can by running a knife around the edge of the can first.)

Blend all ingredients together.

Enjoy!

  9. We used to make this ALL the time when I was growing up, and make it occassionally for my kids. However, my husband and I were just talking about how long it had been since we'd made it. I just bought oj a couple days ago so I could make it again. :)

  10. This is too amazing.... you are probably too young to know, or maybe in the wrong part of the USA, but where I grew up in California there were little fast food type places called Orange Julius. Fast forward to this week. It popped into my head and I thought, hey I have to make those - it sounds good. Then today, I see your post on a link party. Perfect timing!

  11. Back in the 80's, Orange Julius played a big part of our lives. We had one at our local mall and my daughter worked there a little during high school. We loved the drink so much....they used a powder, mixed with orange juice and water. I am anxious to try your recipe. Thanks so much.
