Orange Drinkable Yogurt
A wonderfully refreshing summer drink
Official Post № 6:
This recipe is a follow up recipe for our Yogurty Orange Julius that we posted a few weeks ago.
Back in 2006 and 2007 I was a missionary serving in Bulgaria. Bulgaria is a wonderful country full of fantastic people, beautiful scenery, a grand history, and delicious yogurt. One treat that I miss the most is what they call "кисело мляко за пиене" (kiselo mlyako za piene), directly translated as "sour milk for drinking", or, drinkable yogurt.
Strawberry, raspberry, and apricot were the standard three flavors of drinkable yogurt while I was there. Even though orange was not one of the standard flavors, it was too good, and too simple, to pass up.
But, who knew that it was going to be so simple to replicate? Just mix together some orange juice, plain yogurt, and a little sugar!
- 1 cup yogurt
- 1 cup orange juice
- Sugar to taste (we used a couple spoonfuls)
Directions: Blend or whisk all ingredients.
A simple whisking worked well enough to not have to break out the blender. Or, one of those cool blender bottles also works well. Using Greek yogurt? Try a little more orange juice to yogurt ratio if it turns out too thick. Like it better with fresh orange instead of orange juice? Go for it! Tell us why and how in the comments.
Depending on how sweet you like your yogurts, you may not even need to add any to the yogurt and orange juice mixture.

Plus, it's Mami approved!
Don't worry, we haven't gotten off of the orange juice & yogurt kick yet! In addition to our previous Yogurty Orange Julius post, we're working on an Orange-Banana Yogurt Slushy Smoothie, as well as Orange Frozen Yogurt/Sherbet - both have been tested by friends and proven to be delicious. All are fantastic and easy, and we will post the recipes here in the near future.
Thanks for tuning in! Please let us know how the recipes turned out!
