I really love this! Normally I do not add any form of dairy to my smoothies but I am so glad I decided to give this a try. Since I was only making a single serving I peeled a whole orange and placed it in my Vita-Mix blender and blended it into juice first. Then I added the appropriate amount of milk, ice and vanilla. The only alteration I made was in the sugar...that I cut in a little more then 1/2 since the fresh orange was so sweet. I will definitely make this often as it is a healthy treat that everyone in my family will enjoy. Thanks for sharing. Made and reviewed for the 25th AUS/NZ Recipe Swap. -
Gran and grandbabe made. I so love my grandbabe, too. Wide-eyed, innocent and she's about this tall. A real cutey patooty...and spoiled. Made for PRMR. -
This is so like the orange julius I had in a restaurant. I'll be doing this recipe a lot. I made it for 1 serving but I should have made it for 2. Cause I made my son taste it and he wanted it for him. Thanks TasteTester :) Made for your win on I recommend tag game -
This is good but I would rate 4 stars with homemade almond milk to be dairy free. I did not add sugar to be healthier but the almond milk had honey in it. I did not add ice either out of preference. Made for RECIPE SWAP #45 - October 2010. -
This is very good. I used 4 packets of Splenda instead of sugar. I also added 1 tablespoon of Dream Whip powder to add some fluffy dreaminess. Thanks for the inspiration.

Our family moved to Florida from New York in the 90's, so I've brought not only many of the recipes my family has passed down, but have learned to cook some great Southern dishes as well.? When I found RZ, it opened up a whole new world of cooking -- cuisine from different countries, tried-and-true family hand-me-down recipes, and some interesting and delicious dishes I would never have found on my own.
