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 but 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 nor 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 lost to thaw out enough to drink.
