Homemade Orange Julius Recipe

I'm not sure why it's taken me so long to share with you one of my favorite all time recipes... orange julius!  I used to make these at least once a week as a teenager and up through college, and now my kids love this easy, fruity, delicious drink too!

This is the recipe I learned from my mom as a teen.  It is soooooo incredibly easy, takes under 5 minutes to make, and takes ingredients you probably already have sitting at home.  And it tastes so refreshing and delicious, especially on a hot summer day!

Orange Julius Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1/2 can orange juice concentrate
• 1 cup water 
• 1 cup milk
• 1/4 - 1/2 cup sugar (depending on how sweet you like it- I usually use 1/4 cup)
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 10-12 ice cubes

Put all of the ingredients in the blender and blend until smooth.  

Told you it was easy!

Enjoy!! 

I hope this becomes one of your family favorites, too!
