Orange Frothy Recipe

Orange Frothy
Difficulty: Easy | Total Time: | Makes: 4 to 6 drinks

Every Sunday morning my father would blend freshly squeezed orange juice with ice to make us frothies to accompany our breakfast. The addition of vanilla and honey makes it slightly sweeter, and irresistible.

What to buy: We juiced Valencia oranges to make this drink and loved their sweet, fragrant flavor.

Game plan: For a slacker solution, you could use good store-bought orange juice such as Odwalla.

This recipe was featured as part of our Winter Cabin Fever menu, as well as our Homemade Vanilla Extract project.

INGREDIENTS
  • 2 cups freshly squeezed orange juice (from about 10 medium oranges), chilled
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups ice
INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Combine the orange juice, honey, and vanilla in a blender and blend until well combined and foamy, about 30 seconds.
  2. Add the ice and continue to blend until the ice is broken up and the mixture is frothy, about 30 seconds more. Serve immediately.

    I love running whole, peeled oranges through my juicer (a regular juicer, not a citrus juicer). Result? A creamy orange juice, similar to an Orange Julius. Addition of vanilla is a plus.

    I saw this and truthfully thought "meh," but the next day I looked in my fridge and had some good-quality OJ to use up, so I gave it a go. I've been making it nearly every day since. I usually omit the honey; the orange and vanilla are nice on their own. I love the icy texture.

  • yummy... sounds like orange julius, but healthier!

  • I loved this with fresh squeezed orange juice, so I tried it with regular store bought grapefruit juice, and it was delicious.

  • I just made this, and PommeDeGuerre, you're right, a little bit of orange zest was a nice addition to an already tasty recipe. I put a little cinnamon and palm sugar in it too, but then I add those to everything since they make everything taste better for me!

  • Interesting, but a bit light on orange flavor, which makes sense given that after adding the ice and air, you have diluted the orange juice by more than half. Tried adding a tablespoon of frozen concentrate with the ice and that seemed to help. Could probably stand a little more or perhaps some orange zest.

  • This looks SO good! What a "pick-me-up" for breakfast! A must try for me ~

    I love the flavour of orange. The touch of honey and vanilla make sound even better
