Snacktastic Saturday: Orange Julius

I'm not sure why, but I swear there is nothing more refreshing during the summer months than a freshly made Orange Julius. If given the choice, I would choose one over a milkshake any day! And that says a lot considering my hankering to turn just about any dessert combination into a milkshake of some sorts. So why all the love for a simple Orange Julius? Three reasons - they're simple, they're good & my mama taught me how to make them!

      Very close to it. But for more of a creamy taste, use heavy whipping cream instead of the milk along with some added orange juice concentrate.
