- 1 cup granulated sugar
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups ice cubes
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients: frozen orange juice concentrate, milk, vanilla ice cream, vanilla extract, sugar, and ice cubes.
- Transfer the frozen orange juice concentrate, sugar, milk, vanilla extract, vanilla ice cream, and ice cubes into a high-powered blender.
- Secure the blender lid tightly and process on high speed, creating a smooth and creamy consistency that fully breaks down the ice cubes.

- Immediately pour the vibrant orange beverage into chilled glasses, ensuring each serving captures the drink’s light and airy foam.

Notes
- Chill glasses beforehand to keep the drink colder and maintain its frothy texture longer.
- Swap dairy milk with almond, oat, or coconut milk for a vegan-friendly version that’s equally creamy and delicious.
- Use sugar-free alternatives like stevia or monk fruit sweetener to reduce calorie content and make it diabetes-friendly.
- For extra nutrition, add a scoop of protein powder or a handful of frozen banana to boost protein and make the drink more filling.
