Homemade Orange Julius is a frosty, orange and vanilla flavored copycat drink of the original Orange Julius. A refreshing frozen treat!
When I saw this recipe for Homemade Orange Julius, I knew I had to try it. Orange Julius actually reminds me of going to mall in junior high! Orange Julius was fairly new to the mall at that time, and my friends and I loved it.
I cut the original recipe in half. It might have been because of the oranges I used, but Bob and I thought an extra tablespoon of sugar was necessary, so I made the change below. Also, the vanilla flavor is a bit strong, so I cut back on that. If you like Orange Julius, this is a great at-home recipe!

That looks so yummy! I remember the Orange Julius in our mall too when I was a teenager! I loved that place!

What a perfect summer treat! There's a DQ/Orange Julius in the mall by where I work, but I always end up with ice cream.

My husband would talk about the Orange Julius at his hometown mall. When we moved to Idaho, they had one and I surprised with one. What a yummy drink.

Orange Julius definitely reminds me of the mall when I was younger! I actually don't think I ever tried one though...so I will have to see what I was missing this recipe!
