Fruity Mocktails

Homemade Orange Julius

In the 1990s, an Orange Julius was a standard food court item. The ingredients include ice, milk, sugar, vanilla essence, and concentrated frozen orange juice. The classic Orange Julius tastes great but contains a lot of sugar. Fortunately, you can quickly and easily make a less expensive, healthier alternative to an Orange Julius at home that has the same flavor.

Ingredients

• 5 cups milk of choice. Cow, unsweetened nut, soy or oat milk (we prefer soy milk because it gets nice and frothy)
• 12 ounces frozen orange juice concentrate
• 1 tsp alcohol-free vanilla extract (buy at Trader Joe’s)

Instructions

1. Add the milk first.
2. Add orange juice concentrate and vanilla.
3. Blend until smooth. Add ice as desired. Always add ice last because it pushes other ingredients down and it won’t get stuck in the bottom and burn out the blender motor. You know what I’m talking about.
4. Pour into a margarita or martini glass. Serve whilst lounging in your hammock. Pinky up.
