How to Make an Orange Julius Smoothie

Orange Julius is a popular drink, but it's even better as a smoothie. This drink is great to serve at parties or to your children when they have some friends over. It's sure to impress any guest. Making an orange julius smoothie is quick if you have all the ingredients. Here's how you can make one:

Things You'll Need

• 3 oz. of frozen orange juice concentrate
• 1/2 cup of water
• 1/8 cup of sugar
• 1/2 cup of milk
• 4 ice cubes
• Dash of vanilla extract
• Blender

Instructions

1. Get your blender ready. All the ingredients are going to go straight in to the blender rather than in to a mixing bowl so get your blender ready first.

2. Add frozen orange juice concentrate, vanilla extract, sugar, milk, and water to your blender.

3. Crush up the ice. If the blender can't handle regular-sized ice cubes you will need to crush up your ice. An easy way to do this is to place the ice cubes in a plastic bag and bang on them a few times with a meat tenderizer. Then add ice cube chunks to the blender.

4. Put the lid on the blender and blend. Make sure all of the ice is well blended until the whole drink is smooth.

5. Pour the orange julius from the blender in to a tall drinking glass. Add an optional little umbrella and serve.

Tips & Warnings

• You can substitute vanilla extract with vanilla yogurt for an even smoother smoothie.
