CLASSIC ORANGE JULIUS

INGREDIENTS

•  6 ounces frozen orange juice concentrate, no sugar added
•  1 cup lowfat or skim milk
•  1 cup water
•  1/4 cup powdered sugar
•  1 teaspoon vanilla extract
•  10-12 ice cubes

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Combine all the ingredients except the ice cubes in a blender and process until smooth and frothy.
2. Add the ice cubes and blend until smooth (you can blend to your desired consistency - I like a few nubs of ice here and there but my kids like it ultra-smooth).

NOTES

Strawberry Variation: our favorite variation (albeit not very original) is to throw a handful of frozen or fresh strawberries into the mix. Strawberry-Orange Julius. Inventive, eh?
