Who here has had an Orange Julius before? We’ve been long-time fans and LOVE to make this copycat Orange Julius recipe!

You really only need 5 ingredients (plus ice), the most important being the orange juice concentrate. This isn’t something we always have on hand, so there may be some planning involved. Everything else is always available at our house.

Then, you simply blend – it’s literally ready in minutes! This is one the girls love to whip up because it really is crazy easy. Best of all, this drink tastes just like the REAL version, which means we can make this at home whenever we want (and it’s WAY cheaper)!!

Why we think you’ll love it:

  • Few ingredients. It’s made up of ice, orange juice, sweetener, milk, and vanilla – so simple to make at home!
  • Quick + easy. Our kids love to make this orange julius recipe – simply blend! It’s literally ready in minutes!
  • Just like the original. It’s kind of like an orange juice smoothie, except it’s more creamy and frothy. We think it tastes like a melted orange creamsicle.

Orange Julius ingredients on a marble countertop.
  • 6 ounces frozen orange juice concentrate If you do not have frozen orange concentrate, omit the added water and use 1 cup of fresh orange juice along with orange zest (start with 2 tablespoons of zest and add more to taste).
  • 1 cup milk – We prefer whole milk for a creamier drink. You can make it dairy-free and use coconut or almond milk.
  • 1 cup water added to get the right texture
  • 1-2 teaspoons vanilla extract – balances out the flavor of the drink
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar use more or less depending on the desired level of sweetness
  • 1 cup ice cubes keeps the drink cool, thick, and frothy 
  • optional ingredients – add frozen bananas, strawberries, or pineapple concentrate for a flavor twist
  1. BLEND. Combine frozen orange juice concentrate, milk, water, vanilla, sugar, and ice cubes in a blender and blend until smooth. Serve immediately.
  • For the best flavor, use orange juice concentrate because it is 6x more potent than orange juice.
  • We prefer to use whole milk for the creamiest drink!
  • For extra frothiness, blend in ¼-½ teaspoon of egg white powder.
  • Add the 1 cup of ice gradually to reach your desired thickness.

    This was so refreshing! I used almond milk and the vanilla extract added a nice touch. Perfect for a quick breakfast before work. Will definitely make it again!

  3. Sha says:

    This is sooooo refreshing! Perfect for snacks or parties! Such a crowd favorite!

  4. Cher Fitch says:

    Although I love the original I really wanted to have a thicker parenthesis almost like a shake or insurance. Would it work if I substituted vanilla ice cream for the milk?

    1. Lil'Luna Team says:

      You bet!

    I learned how to make this in 7th grade.that was in 1997. To this day I still make this. My 4 sons have grown up on this drink. I still make this on holidays and my boys(being grown men)still stand by the mixer with glasses. Thank you for bringing back great memories for me!

    I have realized that over the course of constructing a relationship with real estate homeowners, you’ll be able to get them to understand that, in every single real estate exchange, a commission rate is paid. Eventually, FSBO sellers don’t “save” the commission rate. Rather, they fight to earn the commission through doing an agent’s work. In doing this, they devote their money as well as time to accomplish, as best they will, the duties of an broker. Those responsibilities include disclosing the home by way of marketing, showing the home to prospective buyers, making a sense of buyer desperation in order to induce an offer, organizing home inspections, dealing with qualification checks with the bank, supervising maintenance, and assisting the closing.

    This recipe really took me back to my teenage years and being at the mall. It’s been ages since I’ve had an Orange Julius and it really is as good as I remember! Had it this morning and 2 kids gave it 5 stars and one gave it 4.5, but that is because she remembers her grandpa making her something like this like 6 years ago. You can’t mess with grandparents and nostalgia 🙂 I wasn’t going to add in the sugar initially because I don’t like having unnecessary sugar and usually cut down what recipes call for. Glad I kept it in! The orange juice concentrate had quite a bit of a sour to it so it needed the extra sugar love. Glad we used only half of the can of concentrate so we can make some more. I’m sure the kids will be making this by themselves in no time. To make it even creamier I will probably experiment with some heavy cream this summer as well! Yum!!!

    I made this today for some friends! It was so good and refreshing on a hot Florida summer day. I shared the recipe with everyone too. We are just a group of 50 something ladies who get together 1 Friday every month to catch up.
    We will try a different drink recipe next month and can’t wait. Thanks for sending me such amazing recipes to share with friends.

    As for the adult side, add 1-2 ounce of coconut rum and enjoy while you watch the children play.

    Hi –
    I’ve never had this before so I thought I’d give it a try. The recipe was easy and straightforward. It turned out really fantastic, especially for the 90 degree heat we are now experiencing here in New York. I am never disappointed when receiving your recipes. I would like to receive the recipe for your pineapple upside down cake. The video was running and it reminded me how much I LOVE it and how long it’s been since I’ve had one. If I don’t win the kitchen tools package but receive your pineapple upside down cake, I’d still be a winner. 🙂

    This is definitely a 5 star. This is an amazing cold drink for me So refreshing on the hot summer days in Myrtle Beach SC. Will be whipping these up frequently.

  23. Judey yaussi says:

    I’m intrigued by the comment of the gal that mentioned egg white powder. I see they sell it on amazon. I plan on a purchase and trying it. About how much would one use in this recipe?

    1. Lil'Luna Team says:

      I haven’t ever added egg white powder to this before, so I’m not exactly sure how much.

  24. Judey yaussi says:

    This looks really good! Can’t wait to try it. I noticed you have pictured the small nugget ice. Does that work better than large ice cubes? I always loved the icy feel of an orange julius.

    1. Lil'Luna Team says:

      You could use either type of ice!

  25. Denise says:

    Delicious! I loved getting Orange Julius as a kid when we went to town. We still live very rural and this allows me to have the tasty treat at home…my family all love this recipe!

  26. Carolyn G says:

    5 stars
    I will have to say you are one good cook, and so many of your followers appreciate the delicious recipes you share. With six children, it seems impossible that you have the time to do this but, believe me, it is much appreciated. This Orange Julius drink is spot on. One would pay a pretty penny to buy these at the store but what a treat to have it on hand whenever desired and no need to run out to purchase. This is simple, delicious and a crowd pleaser when doubling and tripling the recipe to share with others. I love the fact that I am not asking anyone to drink a raw egg. Thank you so much for sharing your recipe with us. I have put this recipe in my permanent recipe file box.

    1. Lil'Luna Team says:

      Thank you so much!! I’m so glad you enjoyed the drink and will again in the future too! That means a lot.

    As much as I like most of your recipes this one has too much sugar. the orange juice concentrate is almost pure sugar & then you add more. Sorry, Ineed things that are healthier.

    1. Lil'Luna Team says:

      Thanks for the feedback and giving the recipe a try!

  45. Laura Hilton says:

    When I was a little girl I loved going to the local mall and getting Orange Juilius. I can’t wait to try this recipe with my grandchildren. Thank you for sharing your time and talents!

    1. Lil'Luna Team says:

      You’re welcome!! I love that food/recipes can bring back such fond memories. Hope you all enjoy!

  46. Linda Linford says:

    Orange Julius is one of our favorites also. I like the idea of adding a little pineapple concentrate and using different milks rather than 2%. I think I’m going to like your version even better than my own

  47. Megan says:

    Not the orange Julius I remember growing up. This recipe was very tart.

  48. Diana says:

    Why do so many websites like this one show tiny videos (in this case recipe videos) while you’re scrolling the website. They’re totally worthless because they move at lightening speed plus they stop and start another recipe before the other one is finished so it makes no sense. Anyway thanks for the Orange Julius recipe, it brings back memories of the 80s:))

  49. Jessica says:

    My favorite guilty pleasure!! I have loved orange julius since I was a kid and this recipe taste just like it!

    I, too, love Orange Julius. Years ago, I found a different recipe which is delicious!
    In blender:
    Orange juice
    Ice cubes
    Vanilla pudding mix
    I don’t have set quantities but you will figure it out. Yum!!

    I just made this recipe and oh my goodness…yum!!

    I used OJ, rather than water, but followed the recipe to the letter otherwise.

    I personally think the vanilla is a little strong, so I will half it next time and I know it will be perfect!

    Thank you for the recipe, this is one of my favorite frozen drinks and it’s getting more & more difficult to find.

    It taste different than the orange Julius I grew up on. Just not as orangey. Next time I will use orange juice instead of water maybe that will work

    Try my orange smoothie

    Six ounces orange juice
    Two tablespoons plain yogurt
    Quarter cup of sugar
    One cup of ice
    Blend well
    Enjoy

    Try my creamsicle shake

    Six ounces orange juice
    One half cup ice
    Blend
    Add four scoops vanilla ice cream
    Blend
    Pour in a tall glass
    Add one scoop vanilla ice cream
    Enjoy with a spoon and a straw

    It was really good. I used to work in one of those little cafe’s in a mall, 1957 I was 15 lol and we made them different, we used fresh orange juice, ice, orange sherbet, vanilla and no sugar.

      Those would be great additions! Glad you liked it! Thank you!

  77. kerri Adams says:

    is tHere anyway this could be made wIthout regular milk? Would coconut milk or almond milk work? Thanks!

    It’s ok. A real Orange Julius has egg whites in it though.

    1. courtney hartsfield says:

      Yep

    2. Donna Sharp says:

      Actually, the original Orange Julius had a whole egg in it, they changed it with egg white powder which can be substituted with meringue powder (2 tsp) and added to this recipe.

      I have not tired, but I’ll have to try 🙂 Glad to share! Thank you!

      Ah, you too! I AM THE SAME AGE AND I WAS JUST THINKING A WHILE BACK HOW THEY USE TO BE ON ALMOST EVERY CORNER. IF I WAS GOOD AS A CHILD, OR AFTER A TRIP TO THE DOCTOR OR DENTIST, MY MOTHER WOULD REWARD ME WITH A ORANGE JULIUS. THESE DAYS I AM VEGAN AND I USED SOYMILK YOGURT IN PLACE OF THE MILK, AND YACON SYRUP INSTEAD OF SUGAR…..BUT ITS CLOSE ENOUGH TO BRING BACK THOSE MEMORIES. HOPE YOU ARE ENJOYING YOURS ALSO!

    This is delicious! The first time I made it exactly as directed. Today I used hone-vanilla kefir instead of milk and added fresh grated ginger. Both are wonderful.

    The powder is actually non dairy creamer.

    It’s powdered milk. I got the recipe from one of the employees back in the 80’s. Fresh Orange juice was used, not concentrate, a whole egg, powdered milk, sugar and ice. I don’t remember adding vanilla, but if you do (from experience) use imitation. Pure vanilla extract is made with alcohol and imitation isn’t.
