Ingredients
1 cup orange juice (fresh or store-bought)
1 cup milk (whole or 2%)
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup ice cubes
Optional: 1 egg white (for traditional frothiness)
Instructions
Combine orange juice, milk, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a blender.
Add the ice cubes (and egg white if using).
Blend on high speed until frothy and smooth, about 30-45 seconds.
Pour into glasses and serve immediately.
Notes
For a dairy-free version, substitute almond or oat milk.
Skip the egg white if you’re concerned about raw eggs; use aquafaba as an alternative.
Add a frozen banana for extra creaminess and natural sweetness.
