Bread & Brulee: Throwback Smoothie

One of my favorite all time drinks is the "Orange Julius." It's basically an orange creamsicle flavored drink that's frothy, light, and delicious. This a chain/brand that used to be at my local mall growing up, but it went away, and the last time I came across one was 3 years ago during our honeymoon in Hawaii. I started subscribing to Food Network Magazine when it first came out a few years ago, and one section is dedicated to doing copycat recipes - replicas of famous restaurant dishes. When I saw the recipe for "Orange Julius," I had to try it, and it was pretty good.

It's still cold out, but it's also technically spring, and I had a random craving today for this smoothie. Below is my slightly modified recipe for 2 servings:

Ingredients

1 cup orange juice
1/2 cup milk (I used Skim Plus for a healthier version)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 cup confectioners' sugar
1/8 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup crushed ice

Add the orange juice, milk, vanilla, both sugars and ice to blender and blend until smooth and frothy. Divide among 2 chilled glasses.
