Pineapple Orange “Julius” Smoothie

7-21-005

 

My husband used to work at Orange Julius way “back in the day” (when he was in High School, maybe the beginning of college).He used to make these for us all the time when we were dating.  I haven’t made one in ages, but we just recently started making them for the kids again.  I bought a fresh pineapple at Wal-mart yesterday for $1.98 and when I cut it up today it was delish, so I popped some chunks in the freezer and added them to my Orange Julius for a nice change.

Here is how I made it

  • 1 cup of water
  • 1 cup of milk
  • 1 cup of OJ concentrate
  • 1/2 cup of sugar, but really with the pineapple added it didn’t need this much
  • about 1 cup of chunked pineapple frozen (I just spread it on a cookie sheet so they freeze individually and not in a big chunk)
  • Ice

Blend up all the ingredients but the ice first, then add ice until it’s icy enough for you.  I put about 3 cups of ice in mine.  This filled my blender to the top so about 7 cups, which made enough for my 3 kids and I with about 1.5 servings left over.  I just poured that in a large ziplock bag and stuck it in the freezer for later. 

You can make these with any type of frozen juice concentrate, we do them with just fruit juice concentrate and the kids like that better than the orange.
