- 3/4 cup frozen orange juice
concentrate (about half of a 12 oz can)
- 2 cups milk
- 1 medium egg (optional)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 12 ice cubes
- a strong blender
In a blender container, combine the
orange juice concentrate, milk, egg (if you
are using it), vanilla and sugar. Put the
lid on the blender and whirl it at top speed
for about 30 seconds. While the blender is
running, drop in the ice cubes one at a
time. Continue whirling until the ice is
well chopped. This fills my blender to
capacity. If your blender starts to get too
full, then you don't have to add all of the
ice cubes, just add as many as will fit.
I always add the egg. Make sure it is a
fresh egg, from a reliable source, or even
add pasteurized low cholesterol egg product
instead of an egg if you are worried about
salmonella. Use the equivalent of one egg,
if this is the way you decide to go.
Personally, I just take my chances, which is
sort of reckless and footloose, but that is
my choice I reckon.
This makes about 5 or 6 servings. Any
leftovers may be frozen like popsicles and
served the next day. It tastes a whole lot
like an orange dream bar. Quite refreshing
on a hot summer day, and nutritious too.
Serve with pretzels for a good kid-friendly
snack.
