If you love Orange Julius, you will love this drink. It's the best and easiest copycat Orange Julius recipe!

The first time I made this Orange Julius recipe was in my eighth grade foods class. I don't know why but I am finding that seriously funny right now.

It was one of the first recipes I ever made on my own and I remember thinking, "oh my gosh, this is soooo good.. I made this!" Little did I know that they start you off with stuff so easy it can hardly even be deemed a recipe.

But, since when did I ever have a problem with easy??

Orange Julius Recipe

I love this drink because it tastes like a dessert but really isn't that bad for you. It is perfect for summer when I want my little man to stay hydrated but he is sick to death of water and deserves a little treat.

I also love to serve this (in smaller portions) as a juice with our special Sunday breakfasts like our best ever breakfast casserole or our yummy slow cooker breakfast burritos! It just totally takes a breakfast or breakfast for dinner meal over the top!

Orange Julius Ingredients

Orange Juice Concentrate
Milk
Water
Sugar
Vanilla Extract
Ice Cubes

I told you it was simple!

Pro Tips

Most orange juice concentrates are 12 oz, so I just make 2 batches (because most blenders are not big enough to blend it all at one time) and then save the leftovers in the blender in the fridge.
When we want the leftovers I just stick the whole thing back on the blender for a minute or so to froth it back up.
If you are looking for a healthier option you can substitute Splenda for sugar or use fresh squeezed orange juice in place of orange juice concentrate.
