This recipe was absolutely delicious! I used more ice than the recipe called for in order to get a thicker slush. I also used blood orange juice instead of regular orange juice for a different taste. Overall, great recipe.

This was kind of slushier form of an orange julius. I added all the ingredients except I used low-fat milk and subtituted a packet of Splenda for the sugar. It wasn't bad, but it seemed like it was missing some needed flavor. I will have to look at other orange julius inspired recipes, I have made on here, to see what that is.

Delicious and refreshing! Everyone loved it. However, 8 icecubes is a bit much, I only used 5. A recipe that is perfect for a hot summer day.

My kids didn't care for this but I don't know why - it was delicious! I used a fresh orange and put it through the blender first and then added the other ingredients. 1 medium size orange yielded just a bit under 1 cup. I just added water to bring it to the 1 cup mark (I doubled the recipe). I've made this twice so far and thought it was great both times. I'm on my way into the kitchen right now to make it again. I think fresh oranges are going to be a staple in my kitchen this summer. :) UPDATE: I now make this every day. This recipe is a great base for other smoothies. My kids LOVE this when I replace the ice cubes with frozen strawberries. Currently I am sipping this recipe with the addition of some fresh spinach. Delicious!

the first time i made it, the taste was great, but it was not smooth and wouldnt come up my straw. so i made 8 ice cubes out of orange juice. i put the orange cubes, 1 teaspoon of sugar in the raw, and over a half cup of almond milk (i just kept pouring it in until the consistency was right in my bullet). delicious, and apparently my daughter thought so too!

I only had OceanSpray 100% juice Cranberry/Pomegranate juice. I used a packet of Stevia sweetener instead of sugar. Extra juice/milk - love it.

Ok I made this three times yesterday. (not all for me but I snuck in a sip of each) It was really good but as others said its just a good BASE recipe...it was really fun to tweak~! I made mine with a little more sugar,a little less ice and a little Cool Whip blended into it and and dollop of Cool Whip in it and it tasted like a it had icecream in it~! Yummy~! Have it your way applies to this. I will make this again and again
