Yogurty Orange Julius!

 Yogurty Orange Julius:

A wonderfully refreshing summer drink

Official Post № 3:

My spell checker says that yogurty isn't a word. Right click, "Add to dictionary." Now it is!

This idea came from the love of two things: A good ol' Orange Julius, and those drinkable yogurts that you can find at the grocery store. We have experimented with both ideas and both turned out a success. These turned into a wonderfully refreshing drink for the hot summer that has already started here in Bloomington!

This post we will focus on the Yogurty Orange Julius. Check back in a week or so for the drinkable yogurt rendition - we can't decide which one is our favorite.

Yogurty Orange Julius

Recently, Mami and I have been enjoying making Orange Julius as a part of our dinner or simply as a snack. I offered to make one for a friend the other day who is partially lactose intolerant. Many people who are lactose intolerant can eat yogurt, since the bacteria in yogurt breaks down the lactose in milk in the yogurtizing (nope, not a word) process. So why not make a Yogurty Orange Julius? Sure enough, it turned out to be delicious! To us, it tastes like an Orange Creamsicle!

Give it a try and let us know how it worked. Combine the following in a blender of your choice:

• 1 cup plain yogurt
• 2 cups orange juice
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 t. vanilla
• 12 or so ice cubes

Directions: Blend it up and enjoy!

So that's it for our first post about yogurt recipes. How did it turn out?
