Title: Orange Julias
Post by: Sister on June 27, 2008, 12:51:35 PM
For those of you who like me are allergic to dairy products or just want a tasty summer drink, enjoy the following recipe. It is based on the famous Orange Julias drink that originated in southern California.

Orange Julias (dairy free)

1 C water
1 C soymilk
6 oz frozen OJ concentrate
8 ice cubes
1/2 C sugar
1 t vanilla

Mix well in Blender

Sounded so good I went to the store and bought soy milk and forzen orange juice. I am trying to wean myself of of dairy bit by bit.
Long process as No one  gets between me and my milk. I wonder what honey would taste like instead of sugar. Or if it would mix well in blender

Bonnie, I think honey or any other sweetener would work fine, of course it would change the taste a bit and remember that honey has about twice the sweetening concentration as sugar, so you might try decreasing the amount. Honey should mix fine in the blender.

Tried this today and it was really good. Even my husband didn't turn his nose up at the soy milk. Even got him to drink a bit of the milk plain.

This is really, really good

Bonnie, I am glad this worked so well for you and your hubby. What did you do about the sweetener?

Some sugar the first time, but not as much as called for. I am going to use honey the next time
