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!
Step by Step Instructions
- Pour the cup milk, 6 oz orange juice concentrate, ¼ cup white sugar, teaspoon vanilla extract....
- And 2 cups ice cubes in a blender cup or pitcher.
- Put the lid on and blend until smooth.
- Pour the now frothy orange drink into individual glasses and serve!
- NOTE - if the flavor is a bit too strong for you, blend in more ice.
Recipe FAQs
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.
