Ingredients
- 6 oz frozen orange juice concentrate (½ of a 12-oz can)
- 1 to 1½ cups milk (whole, 2%, or dairy-free)
- ¼ cup granulated or powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 10–12 ice cubes
Instructions
- Blend Orange Juice Mix: Combine the frozen orange juice concentrate, milk, sugar, and vanilla extract in a blender. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and well combined, ensuring the sugar has fully dissolved.
- Add Ice and Blend: Add the ice cubes to the blender and blend again until the mixture becomes frothy, creamy, and slushy in texture.
- Serve Immediately: Pour the Orange Julius into glasses and serve immediately while it is cold, refreshing, and slushy.
Notes
- Use any type of milk you prefer, including whole, 2%, or dairy-free alternatives like almond or oat milk.
- Adjust the sugar amount to your taste or substitute with a sugar alternative if desired.
- For a thicker slush, add more ice cubes.
- Serve immediately for the best frothy texture as the drink will separate if left to sit.
