Why You'll Love This Recipe

  • No raw eggs! No egg whites!
  • Not watered down like other recipes!
  • Better than Orange Julius's!
  • Excellent summer refreshment for the whole family!

Ingredient Notes

  • Water? - Nope, no water. Believe it or not, ice is water. Adding additional water waters down the flavor.
  • Orange Julius - This recipe uses orange juice concentrate. You cannot use already mixed, diluted orange juice or fresh orange juice.
  • Milk - I use 2%, but whole milk would absolutely work too! Coconut milk or almond milk may be used in place of the milk.
  • Vanilla - I prefer pure vanilla extract, but imitation is fine too!

Recipe FAQs

Can this be made ahead of time?

It's best freshly made; however, I have made it several times, poured it into cups, popped them in the freezer, got them out about 15 minutes before serving them, and they were totally fine. I wouldn't freeze the orange Julius in a large single portion, though, because it would take to long to thaw out enough to drink.

What can I serve this with?
