Mom’s Recipe – Orange “Smoothie”

*One of Mary Myrick’s best recipes*

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 container vanilla yogurt (6 oz.)
  • 1/3 cup frozen orange juice concentrate
  • ¼ tsp. vanilla extract
  • 5 ice cubes

Combine all ingredients except ice cubes in a blender. Blend for 15 seconds. Add the ice cubes and blend for about 20 more seconds to crush the ice. Serve immediately. Makes 2.

You could, of course, make it with skim milk and low-fat yogurt. Either way, especially if you use the orange juice with calcium, it could be breakfast.

Welcome to my online home since 2004. I blog a bit about my life as it happens, my work as I am permitted, and occasional throwback entries. When I'm not writing new posts, I actively curate this blog, improving the wording or adding new media to old posts, and finally finishing old drafts I've left sitting for years. It is not my intention to be a source of news or content. I don’t have anything to sell, and I’m not trying to get likes/shares/follows. This site is an autobiographical effort - imperfections and all. My life, remembered in my words, my way.

When known, I include credit for photos in the captions. Contact me for photo credit or removal. *Side note: If you make one of my Mother's recipes, I'd be happy to post a photo of the finished product in the corresponding post, and give you full photo credit.

If you have comments or questions, feel free to visit the Contact page and fill out the form. I'll be happy to respond. Thanks for stopping by!
