I know that summer is over and this is totally a summer recipe, but we made these orange juliuses with my family last week and I just had to share them with you! It’s been really cold here lately {I’m so dreading wintertime. Boo.}, but this drink gives me all the more reason to cuddle up with my mister and drink our hearts out. It’s insanely delicious too! Booyah.
I got this recipe in my 7th grade home economics class and I haven’t found an orange julius recipe that could top it since. It’s the perfect blend of creamy, sweet, and orangey. {Yep, that’s a word.} I’m glad I learned at least one useful thing in that class…
Orange Julius
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup frozen orange juice concentrate
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 tsp. vanilla
- 1-1/2 to 2 cups ice
Instructions
-
Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.
-
Serve immediately or store in freezer.
Feel free to add some strawberries or another favorite fruit to spruce up the flavor {Although, it tastes perfect without it}. Hope you like it!

Just stumbled on your wonderful blog and am now following. I use to have the recipe for the orange julius and made it all the time, but had lost it. So glad to see this again! Thanks for sharing it! I’d love you to drop by and enter my monthly “Paris Mondays” giveaway or just to say hi. xo’s Pam
I just pinned this. I love these and am glad I can make them at home now. They bring back fond memories of my childhood.
Thanks so much.

Do you know if it’s cheaper to make orange juice than to buy it? Because if it is I will buy oranges ASAP haha.
YUM!! That would be sooooo GOOD right now!
Thanks so much for sharing this at The DIY Dreamer.. From Dream To Reality!
I had never heard of these until I met my husband. His family makes them, but I’ve never seen the recipe. Good to know!
I love Orange Julius! I remember my sister making it for me when I was a kid. Following along from Just Us Four’s Friday blog hop!
I haven’t had an orange julius for years… When I used to live in Edmonton and next to the famous West Edmonton Mall I would stop frequently to check out the mall as it was being developed and buy an orange julius. Thanks for sharing on Foodie Friends Friday and remember to come back and vote on Sunday.
Can’t wait to try this recipe!! I’d love for you to link this up to Do Something Crafty Friday: http://seevanessacraft.com/2012/10/do-something-crafty-60/
we love this at our house too 🙂
This looks so yummy! Thanks for sharing! Pinning this stat!

I’m so impressed that you remember things from junior high! I can’t remember last week! 😉 I’m glad this is the one thing you do remember because it sounds great!
Thanks for linking up to MTM Mondays!
it sounds really good! in my opinion there if a drink is delicious there I don’t consider it Summer or Winter drink! I like cold smoothies in cold Winter days or steaming hot chocolate pudding in a hot Summer Night. Maybe I am weird like that 😉

My favorite, but I’ve never tried making it at home. Thanks for the recipe!
I coerced my husband into buying me an Orange Julius at the mall this weekend…now I feel guilty cuz it would have been soooo simple to make at home and a whole heck of a lot cheaper!! lol!! This looks yummy and no matter what season it is, orange julius’s are the bomb! Pinning now!

Yum! I loved getting these from Orange Julius as a kid. Found you at Sew Many Ways. There’s a party at my place if you feeling like linking up!
i found the same recipe 2 days ago, made it for “brunch”!! oh man was it good! if u remember the orange julius stands, usually in the mall, you’ll also remember that they were foamy too…add 1 egg white the the recipe above and u have ur foam. 1005 replica right in your kitchen.
p.s. i actually have found an actual Orange Julius Store about 20 minutes from my house. Cannot wait to go!!
too funny, i found the same recipe 2 days ago. i added 1 egg white to mine though. it makes it kinda foamy/frothy. more like Orange Julius Stands used to make. either way, this recipe is awesome and you rock for puttin it out there for all to see!
p.s. saw and Orange Julius Store not to long ago, can’t wait, i’ve been craving a strawberry julius for days now!!
How many drinks does one batch make?
