Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups fresh orange juice (or good‑quality bottled)
  • 2 cups vanilla ice cream
  • 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non‑dairy)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp orange zest (optional, for extra citrus punch)
  • 1/2–1 cup ice cubes (optional, for thicker texture)

Instructions

  1. Add the orange juice, vanilla ice cream, milk, and vanilla extract to a blender.
  2. Optionally add orange zest for extra citrus flavor.
  3. If you want a thicker, frostier shake, add ice cubes.
  4. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  5. Pour into chilled glasses and serve immediately. Optionally top with whipped cream or garnish with an orange slice.

Notes

  • Add frozen banana slices for a thicker, smoothie‑style shake.
  • Use Greek yogurt instead of ice cream for a lighter version.
  • Mix in a scoop of vanilla protein powder for a post‑workout boost.
  • Add a splash of orange liqueur for an adults‑only version.
  • Freeze fresh orange juice into cubes ahead of time for an ultra‑thick texture.
