This recipe is my Mom's, although she says she hasn't made it since my sister's bridal shower over 25 years ago. Oops! She gave it to me when I planned to have some friends over for "breakfast for dinner" a few years ago, because she thought it would be a good little addition to the meal, and she was right!
I can't drink straight orange juice because the citric acid is too high, so this is one way I can enjoy some OJ! This tastes like one of those orange push up ice cream things I used to eat when I was a kid. VERY yummy. And if you use lower fat milk - it's not all that bad for you either!
The Recipe
6 ounces orange juice concentrate
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup milk
1 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
12 ice cubes
In blender, combine everything except the ice cubes. Mix on high until blended, then add ice cubes one at a time until smooth.
I usually use 1% milk. Skim does work fine. I also buy a 12 ounce can of concentrate, use half, and keep the other half for the next time. I also don't have ice cube trays, so I just use whatever amount of ice I want. It probably equals out to 2 1/2-3 cups of bagged ice.
I put in the concentrate first and dump everything else in on top of it. Don't forget the sugar! I did that once and WOW. Important ingredient. 
After you blend that, it will be a little bit frothy on top.
Then add the ice a little at a time until it's the thickness you like. (I only made half a recipe for me - the full recipe above will go clear to the top of a blender.)
Pour in your glass, top with whipped cream (hello!!) and enjoy!!
