Copycat Orange Julius (+Video)
This Copycat Orange Julius recipe is just like the frothy orange drink you remember from the 80’s in the mall food court. So good and easy!
YOUR FAVORITE MALL DRINK
Do you remember Orange Julius? It brings back a lot of memories of the 80’s for me. I suppose some malls still have an Orange Julius stand. All the ones by me closed years ago. But they were famous for their most popular drink, the Orange Julius. It’s a cool, frothy, orange-tastic drink, with a touch of vanilla. Now, this may not be exactly how it was made back in those days but it sure tastes like it!
CAN I USE OTHER FLAVORS?
Absolutely! This works with concentrated lemonade as well! A great way to switch up the flavors. Plus, it whips up in a snap so it is perfect for a quick summer sweet treat. If you love that creamsicle flavor, then you are sure to love this! No trip to the mall required! I hope it brings back some memories for you as it did for me!
INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (FULL RECIPE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE POST)
- frozen orange juice concentrate
- milk
- water
- sugar
- vanilla extract
- ice cubes
HOW TO MAKE AN ORANGE JULIUS:
Put all your ingredients into the blender. I like to put the liquids in first, then the ice, because my blender seems to mix it up best that way.
Don’t forget to put the lid on! Then process all ingredients together until frothy.
Pour into glasses. Makes 4 servings. Look at that frosty goodness. Yum!

French toast!
My favorite breakfast is Pecan Pancakes. When I want to be really bad I make an overnight french toast casserole that is to die for. I feel so bad eating it so I only make it on holidays. New to your site, but I will be back often. Your food looks so yummy!

My favorite breakfast is usually something simple like blueberry muffins. But I also love to make extra baked potatoes just so I can make fried potatoes the next morning. 🙂 Thanks for the contest!

The Ultimate Breakfast to me isn't just what you serve, but who is gathered around the table to receive it! That is the Ultimate
gift. Any Sunday that I am off work my Daddy comes here and I fix him (and anyone else that shows up) whatever they want! It has also become a tradition (as my youngest is now 17 years) to have Birthday Breakfasts instead of an evening party! I get up early and there is no set time, folks just stroll in as they wake up! Glad to have stumbled upon your site! Thank you!
I love the Gooseberry Patch Cookbooks! I never tire of them. My favorite breakfast would have to be Blueberry Casserole with warm blueberry syrup and crispy bacon on the side. Yum!!!

My favorite breakfast is having my daughter pick what cereal she wants and then her choice of berries. There's nothing like her smile in the morning 🙂
