1/4 cup (or I use about 1 Tablespoon or NONE) Sugar
1 teaspoon of Vanilla (this is key!)
and about 8-10 ice cubes.
Blend on high until ice is crushed.
Pour into a glass, toss in a straw… take a sip… you have a smile on your face, don’t you?? If you’re feeling especially daring, make yourself a nice bowl of popcorn (not microwave) – it’s good fiber and will keep you full!
Ever wonder about the history of Orange Julius… well wonder no more! Here’s the history from OrangeJulius.com
It all started with a guy who really liked oranges. People called him Julius Freed. Julius liked oranges so much, in fact, that he opened his very own orange juice stand. Sales were slow. But Julius was not alone. He had a friend named Bill Hamlin. Bill also really liked oranges, but they upset his stomach. So Bill got an idea: he blended his orange juice with a few choice ingredients to make it less acidic. It also happened to make it frothy and delicious.
Bill introduced the drink to Julius. Julius introduced the drink to his customers. His customers introduced their friends. And soon the store was lined with thirsty fans shouting, “Give me an orange, Julius!” Sales went through the roof and an original was born.
I haven't even seen an Orange Julius stand in quite a few years. My first was in Florida. It's delicious. If I get another blender (I use the immersible stick now) I'll make it.
