Enjoy this popular creamy frothy drink all summer long! Made with real orange juice, milk, vanilla, and sugar, this copycat Orange Julius tastes just like the real deal but so much better for you!
In the base of a blender, add the juice concentrate, milk, water, sugar, and vanilla.
Blend on high speed until smooth and the sugar is dissolved.
Add ice and blend again until the mixture is slushy and the ice is finely crushed. Add more ice if you'd like it thicker.
Pour the Orange Julius into 2 glasses. Add a orange slice on the side if desired and serve immediately.
Notes
Quantity: Though this recipe is easy to double, I would still only make one batch in the blender at a time to make sure everything blends properly.Variations:
Juice. Swap orange juice for pineapple juice.
Fruit. Add in frozen strawberries or bananas.
Vegan. Use your favorite plant-based milk in place of the milk.
Water. Try coconut water for a more tropical flavor.
Storage: You can freeze the leftovers in ice cube trays to make smoothies later or in a popsicle mold to make popsicles.
