Orange Julius

I apologize in advance for not having a photo to go along with this recipe. My children have been requesting this recipe a lot lately because it has been so hot here in TX. I also bought myself a new blender for Mother's Day and these are the ingredients I've had on hand most of the time. Plus, my children love that part of my name is in this recipe.

Julie's Orange Julius

1 6 oz. can of Orange Juice
3 Tablespoons sugar
1 cup milk
1 cup water
1 teaspoon vanilla
10-12 ice cubes

Blend in blender from low to high until smooth. Serve immediately.
Quite refreshing!

Smoothies

Here is an easy smoothie recipe I found on the back of some frozen mixed fruit. It makes one serving and is a great way to get one or two fruits in.

1 cup frozen fruit
1 to 1 1/2 cup fruit juice or milk

Blend and serve.

I use a magic bullet and it works great but I am sure a normal blender would work as well. Enjoy:)
