Note

For a vegan version, ensure the instant pudding mix and Dream Whip powder used are dairy-free. Many modern instant pudding mixes are already vegan, but check the label for hidden dairy ingredients like casein or whey.

Use fresh-squeezed orange juice for the best flavor, but store-bought pulp-free juice works well too. Avoid orange juice with added sugars if you prefer a less sweet drink.

Serve immediately after blending to enjoy the optimal frothy texture. If preparing ahead, blend just before serving as the mixture may separate or lose its fizz over time.

For a thicker shake, reduce the amount of orange juice added at the end or add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or frozen orange segments.

Cracked ice is traditional for this drink. You can also use a blender with ice-crushing capabilities or freeze orange juice in trays for ice cubes to enhance the orange flavor.
