So Simple Cold Orange Drink

[sophia]

I just remembered this orange drink we've been making for 'decades'. I must have tried two dozen recipes before I found this simple one, and it excels them all in my opinion. There are no powdered ingredients, egg whites, or concentrates. It's very sweet, and like drinking a dreamsicle. If you make it and use Splenda, use less than half the amount listed here; it is very sweet.

Dreamsicle Drink

1 c ready-made orange juice; I use Tropicana
1/2 c milk
1/4 c sugar, Nutri Sweet or Splenda
1/2 t vanilla
5 or 6 ice cubes

Blend all but ice in blender. When well mixed, add ice cubes one at a time. Best yet 'Orange Julius'. (3) 6-oz. servings.

Should'nt there be a bit of Triple sec in there?

Oh, the four-year-old doesn't much care for it.

But, hey, if you think it would taste better, go for it!

Best yet 'Orange Julius'.

Thanks for this Sophia!
Even though I'm not a fan of drinks like this, my 21 yr old Daughter is...(with or without the Triple Sec!)

She'd be delighted if I surprised her with this!

Costco, here I come for some more Tropicana!

Thanks for the reminder to make these.

I use about 1 cup vanilla ice cream, fresh squeezed oranges, half banana, few ice cubes in the blender.
