Ingredients
Orange Julius Ingredients
- 12 ounces frozen orange juice concentrate
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup whole milk
- 1 cup vanilla ice cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups ice cubes
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add the frozen orange juice concentrate, granulated sugar, whole milk, vanilla ice cream, vanilla extract, and ice cubes into the blender.
- Blend: Blend the mixture on high speed until completely smooth and creamy, ensuring all ice cubes are fully crushed and the drink is uniformly mixed.
- Serve: Pour the freshly blended Orange Julius into glasses immediately for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- You can substitute 2% or skim milk for whole milk to reduce fat content, but it will slightly affect creaminess.
- To make a lower sugar version, reduce the added sugar or use a sugar substitute.
- For a dairy-free option, swap whole milk and ice cream for coconut milk and dairy-free vanilla ice cream.
- Serve immediately as the drink is best enjoyed fresh to maintain its frothy texture.
