When my children are sick (and therefore ridiculously picky eaters like most kids are when they’re under the weather) this is filling (if you make it with whole milk) while giving them a boost of vitamin C that’ll help heal their colds. Also, the nice thing about this smoothie is that you likely already have everything you need on hand to whip it up.
- 2 cups orange juice
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 6 ice cubes
Pop it all in a blender and mix til it’s smooth. Makes approx 4 servings.

Thanks! We are just finishing up every last drop in our cups for lunch right now.
So happy you liked it!!!! Thanks for letting me know :)
Such an easy recipe – I will definitely be trying this! Thank you for sharing :-)
You’re welcome! Let me know what you think! :)
Tried and loved :-) Thank you again!
Great!! And you’re welcome :)
Wow! I haven’t had an Orange Juiius in ages–thanks! And you’re right–I have everything in the kitchen right now.
Brings back childhood memories for me…I remember always getting them when my mom and I went on a “big” shopping trip to the city. They were such a treat!
Sounds good. I would use whole milk keifer I ferment and vanilla stevia instead of the sugar and fresh squeezed OJ.
Fresh squeezed orange juice would make this divine!!!!
How do you know exactly what I need when I need it?!

Fabulous! Glad I could help! Your little ones sick too?
These were my favourite when I was little. I am definitely going to try making some of these this weekend!
Let me know if you like them! :)
I wonder if vanilla Almond milk would give it an odd flavour or if it would still taste alright? I may try that instead…
It definitely wouldn’t taste as creamy and the consistency might be a little off since it’s not made with whole milk, but I bet it would still be yummy!
This was so good. I love it.
Woot! Glad you liked it! I’m making more today :)
Made this tonight – easy, yummy, and a heck of a lot cheaper! And it makes a decent 4 servings.
Glad you liked it! I made it again today…we’re officially obsessed :)
I ended up making it with regular milk and it was delicious! Next time I may try almond but not so sure how that will go with the OJ…
Megan let me know how the almond milk turns out. I’d test it out myself, but we’re all out til the next costco trip :)
Nice and easy recipe! I tried it also with almond milk and it is very good.

Thanks for letting me know Lys! Glad you enjoyed it!
Simple but effective I should imagine, I will have to make it for my kids when they are poorly. Would be nice with some yogurt as well.

Thanks for posting this lil pick me up recipe. I will say that we subbed the milk for almond milk and skipped the sugar. It came out so frothy and delicious.
Perfect! I haven’t made it with almond milk yet myself, but now that I know it works I will tomorrow! Glad you enjoyed!
i used 1/4 cup of sugar not 1 tbsp… so try 1/4 cup of sugar
