Orange Julius – even the words makes my mouth water. I love the dreamy orangey-ness of it all, but hate driving all the way into town to grab one. That’s when I figured out how to make my own version!
I’ve seen tons of recipes, but never seem to have all of the ingredients. I kept noticing things like milk, sugar and vanilla (some even call for powdered egg whites), but since I was reallllly craving one, I figured if I messed it up then I was no worse than where I started. But, it turned out awesome – and all I needed was some orange juice, French vanilla powdered coffee creamer, and some ice.
Put 1 cup of orange juice and 1/4 cup of creamer into a blender, and blend for about a minute to get the creamer all dissolved into the juice. Then, add about 12 ice cubes – one at a time, giving them time in between to be crushed into the mixture.
My first job so many years ago was at Orange Julius. I can tell you that if you add pineapple chunks and about 1 tbsp of malt per blender you willbe much closer totherealthing. Enjoy
OOOHHHHH! Thank you! I’ll be sure to try them that way 🙂
So clever Gina!!! And the other tip above is good too. It used to be SUCH a treat to get these at the Mall when we were little – I don’t know that we even have an Orange Julius location here (now I’ll have to look just for fun). This is great! Thanks!! : Claire
yum yum yum
Love this, I’m going to try it for sure. Thank you!!!!
We used to be able to get these at the mall way back when I was a kid. There isn’t a vendor for these anywhere around here now. I completely forgot about them until I saw this. Strangely enough, the minute I read the title, I could almost taste them. Now I absolutely have to try this out.
I’ll definitely TRY this. The KIDS will LOVE IT…
Thanks for sharing this recipe!!!
Dairy Queen now has orange Julius . . .
Good to know. I just bought 2 drinks yesterday at the mall, and it cost nearly $10. My daughter will love this!
