1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups ice

A smoothie by definition is made with fresh fruit with or without yogurt so to me an Orange Julius is not a smoothie. With 1/4 cup of sugar it would seem to be closer to the soft drink family. It may sound weird but I have been off processed sugar for so long now I actually got a little queasy looking at that recipe.

And, for the record, I'm not consuming anything named poo poo...
The sugar doesn't surprise me at all. I remember them being rather sweet.

Does cutting up fresh fruit and freezing it in portions count as "fresh fruit"? I like it better when it's frozen. You get the slushy w/o adding a bunch of ice and watering it down.
