Orange Julius: A Summer Refresher

We have all had those really hot days right? Your really hot, on your couch, with only a ceiling fan cooling you off. I've had a day like that. Well here is a simple drink that is easy to make and is also perfect for warmer seasons!!



*NOTE* DO NOT drink in a very large amount. You WILL get a stomach ache.

Step 1 Ingredients

You will need:

1 Blender
 Various measuring cups/spoons 

Original recipe: (I used this one, and tastes a little better ;-))

1 cup Orange Juice (this can be increased)
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup milk or any milk substitute.
1 cup water
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Ice (add as much or as little as you want)


Vanilla Ice Cream recipe:

1 cup Orange Juice
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup Vanilla Ice cream
1/4 cup milk
1 cup water
Ice (as little or as much as you want)

NOTE *I would advise vegans NOT to use soymilk (almond etc.) as the vegetable and nut source will act bad with the citrus during digestion. Meaning, you will have a very hard time digesting it.*

This is so good i love it but try putting a spoon load of sweetened condensed milk in it to....although that just might make it a little bit more unhealthy since there is a bunch of sugar in it

Skim milk and evaporated milk taste really awesome too.

Anyone have experience doing this with a milk substitute (soy, almond, etc.)?
Went vegan since my Julius childhood days.

[kill-a-watt]

My pre-backpacking breakfast drink is OJ, vanilla, and coconut cream (from a can.)

Of course, I'm deliberatively trying to pack in as many calories as possible

[d4l3d]

Thanks for this, but until I find something definitive on whether the body processes such large concentrations of vegetable source saturated fat differently than animal source, I'm staying away from all of it. The "science" I've seen so far has been biased in both directions. There may be more at stake than just calorie loading.

[Randomguy65]

The large amount of vegetable source will act bad with the citrus during digestion, I just found out.

[d4l3d]

Thanks. Kinda thought so. Though I was referring to saturated fat directly above, this is more immediately relevant. I vaguely remember that and it's probably most distressing with (soy)bean based substitutes ... which was what prompted my original question.

[Randomguy65]

Like I said, milk product!! I've heard soy milk works best here (When finished making this recipe, Drink a small amount to see how soy milk reacts to the OJ in your stomach and intestines)

[d4l3d]

Thanks.

(I'm sure you realize by now that milk product is not the same as milk substitute and means something derived from milk and by definition, not vegan.)

[Randomguy65]

Yeah. By that Milk product, I meant subsitute. Things like cream, ice cream, thinks like that.

[Jag56]

Looks great! I just gotta buy some vanilla extract.......

[Randomguy65]

Do you have vanilla anything? Like ice cream?

[Randomguy65]

Wow, two days and I have a free 3 month pro membership AND This is on the HOMEPAGE!?!?!?!?!?!?
