By blending frozen orange juice concentrate with milk, vanilla, and ice, you create a drink that is both creamy and intensely citrusy. The vanilla adds a subtle warmth that rounds out the sharp acidity of the orange, while the sugar ensures a balanced sweetness without being cloying. It’s incredibly quick to make, requiring no cookingâÂÂjust a powerful blender and a few minutes. This vegan-friendly (if using plant milk) or dairy-rich beverage is easy to customize with extra fruit or yogurt.

Note
For a thicker consistency, use more ice or add a scoop of vanilla yogurt.
You can substitute regular milk with almond, soy, or oat milk for a dairy-free option.
If the orange juice concentrate is not frozen, the drink will be thinner and less slushy. Freezing it ahead of time yields the best texture.
Adjust the sugar to taste depending on your preference for sweetness or the acidity of the orange concentrate.
Serve immediately after blending for the best experience, as the ice will melt quickly.
