Ingredients

Juice and Liquid Ingredients

  • 1/2 of a (12-ounce) container orange juice (from concentrate, not thawed)
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract (adjust to taste)

Sweetener

  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar

Others

  • 1 cup ice cubes

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Measure and gather all ingredients – orange juice, whole milk, water, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and ice cubes.
  2. Blend All Ingredients: Add the orange juice, whole milk, water, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and ice cubes into a blender. Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and no chunks of ice remain, creating a frothy texture.
  3. Serve Immediately: Pour the freshly blended Orange Julius into glasses without delay to enjoy its best refreshing quality.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, you can substitute whole milk with skim or plant-based milk.
  • Adjust the amount of powdered sugar and vanilla extract according to your personal sweetness and flavor preferences.
  • Using orange juice concentrate ensures a richer flavor; avoid thawed juice for best texture.
  • Serve immediately to prevent the ice from melting and diluting the drink.
