Nothing too fancy about this picture or recipe, but it sure does quench your thirst on a hot summer day! What better treat to come home too for our kiddos than a cold Orange Julius. If you need a reason to rejoice in the last few weeks of summer, these smoothies are a great way to celebrate 😉 Enjoy!


- 12 oz. orange juice concentrate (not mixed with water)
- 1 orange, zested and juiced
- 2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 12 oz. cold milk
- 2 cups ice
- 1 egg yolk (optional--if you want a little more smooth texture)
- Place all of the ingredients into a blender (this fits perfectly in a Blend Tec) and blend until smooth. Serve ice cold for a more refreshing smoothie.
Wow, this recipe for Homemade Orange juice Smoothie is incredible. I am drooling over it. Actually oranges are my favorite fruit and I add it even in my homemade Green energy drinks. Thanks a ton for this yummy recipe!
