Orange Julius


Remember back in the day, when there were the Orange Julius stores. Well, I got a craving for one, which lead me on a hunt for a great recipe. This is what I came up with.

6 oz can of frozen orange juice concentrate (I like the orange pineapple myself)
1 cup water
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup powdered sugar (I think the powdered sugar makes it a little creamy)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
10-12 ice cubes

Combine all ingredients in a blender except the ice cubes. Blend for 1 minute, then add ice cubes one at a time.

Note- I make up a batch & place extra in disposable cups, then I pull one out & let sit on the counter for about 20 minutes. I then have a great pick me up in the morning.
