Morphology
The compound combines 'moo' (the sound associated with cows) and 'juice' (a liquid), so a B1 learner who knows both words can readily infer 'cow liquid' — i.e., milk. Although slangy and humorous, the meaning is directly derivable from the constituents and follows a transparent compositional logic.
Etymology
The noun moo juice is a playful name: moo is the sound a cow makes and juice means a drink, so it makes you imagine a drink that comes from a cow. That's why it is an informal, funny way to say 'milk'.
