I grew up with Orange Julius. It was a rare and special treat being that there were five of us kids and they weren’t cheap. I can still remember how incredibly refreshing and sweet this drink was. Crave-worthy for sure.

Imagine my utter delight and surprise when Chris’s dad shared his recipe for Orange Julius with me years ago. His recipe actually came from his mother and was passed down to him.

Sure, I had a few moments of jealousy when I realized that Chris was able to have an Orange Julius any time he wanted when he was growing up. And then of course total shock when I saw how EASY this recipe is.

I mean, I always have these ingredients around. Soooo awesome!

This drink is perfect for a hot summer’s day or a even a mildly warm spring day. Heck. I’m good with this any day of the year. For reals.

I double the recipe because our containers of concentrate come in 12 oz cans and because, well, we can polish off an entire pitcher of this stuff. Yep. Just the four of us. No shame either. 

My mother-in-law occasionally substitutes yogurt for the milk and the boys really like it that way as well. It gives it more of a smoothie consistency and the flavor is still pretty much the same.

You really can’t go wrong either way 🙂

    I’ve made this about 15 times now and it’s the only thing I use the Ninja for. DELICIOUS!! It’s the only thing I use my Ninja for. Thanks for the recipe! (NOTE: I add an additional 1/4 c of milk to make it last longer and to help tone down the sweetness)

    I like the super frothiness of this drink and the real ones have egg whites. I have found the dry egg whites in a can make it fantastic. Add 1/2 tsp – 1 tsp while the blender is going, remove cap. This helps to prevent lumps.

    How much yogurt and what flavor? That sounds like it would be heavenly!

      She uses vanilla Greek yogurt and anywhere from a half a cup to a whole cup. Yes. It is good!

    Is it bad to admit that I want to be the only one to polish off the entire pitcher? I love Orange Julius’ but haven’t had one in forever!!!
