Orange Julius Recipe

Orange Julius Recipe:  Save yourself a trip to the mall with this cool and creamy orange smoothie that tastes even better than the Orange Julius. Ready in 5 minutes, with only 4 common ingredients!

Orange Julius: Just the name makes my mouth water! Growing up they were a special treat when we went to the mall. Then a few years back Orange Julius and Dairy Queen collabed, and they became a much more frequent treat!

However, the price can add up quickly! When I saw this do it yourself version I knew it had to give it a try. It tastes even better than the original and is SO easy! This homemade Orange Julius comes together in 5 minutes using just 4 common ingredients (plus ice and water). I bet you have them in your home right now!

I like to use frozen orange juice and whole milk for the creamiest most realistic texture in my copycat Orange Julius. However, if you’re watching your calories feel free to substitute freshly squeezed orange juice, skim milk, and your favorite sweetener instead. Wondering how to make an orange Julius? Read on!

Tasty Trivia Tidbit: 

The Orange Julius recipe was invented by Bill Hamlin as a way to make orange juice less acidic and less bothersome to his stomach. The Orange Julius wasn’t introduced to Dairy Queen until 2012.
