Welcome to my blog. This is a virtual recipe box...I'm using it to keep track of all the recipes I've made and that we enjoy as a family. My first step is to load several recipes in that I've been making for the past few years...then, as I try new ones, I'll add them as well. I'll try to add pictures for each one as I make them.

Orange Push-Up Smoothie

Found on pinterest from this blog.



Ingredients:
1 can orange juice concentrate, slightly thawed
1 cup milk
1/2 cup sugar, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups ice, or to taste

Directions:
Combine all ingredients, except ice, in a large blender and blend until smooth and creamy, taking care the sugar has dissolved and is well incorporated. If desired, add a splash more water or more milk. Add the ice and blend until smooth.

Makes approximately three eight-ounce portions.

Tips: Pour excess portions into glasses and freeze, thaw later and drink as smoothies; pour excess into bowls and freeze for orange sherbet; or pour into Popsicle molds, paper cups, or ice cube trays and freeze for homemade Push-Ups. Or halve the recipe by cutting the can of orange juice concentrate in half and halving all other ratios.

Optional: Add 1 to 2 ounces of Rum, Malibu, Vodka, Citron, Marshmallow Vodka, Gran Marnier or similar, per smoothie portion, or to taste.
