Speaking of blending, today I finally found the perfect recipe to create Orange Julius smoothies. The 3rd one I’ve tried seems to be just to my liking, the first one called for eggs and was straight barf-o-lishious, the second was ok but quite bitter.
It’s been a while since I’ve had a “real” Orange Julius but from what I remember, my third one was quite close to those. Check it:
6 oz. frozen orange juice concentrate
1 cup milk
1 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
8-9 ice cubes1. Combine all ingredients except ice cubes in blender.
2. Blend for about 1-2 minutes, adding ice cubes one at a time.
I know, that’s a lot of sugar, right? Yeah, no wonder it’s so good
Update: A reader emailed me a suggestion to use powdered sugar to make the drink a bit creamier. I’ve been using 1/4 cup regular sugar and 1/4 powdered sugar and it’s fantastic!


mmmmmm. that’s close to how i do it.
But I have 10 or 11 cubes.
Now try it in your new red one.
I have had that recipie for all my life. My mom clipped it from a Harmons thing like 30 years ago. It is quite tasty! You should try it with other juices as well.
I didn’t even know that I wanted an orange julius, and now at 11pm I am contemplating running to the store for frozen orange juice concentrate!
Go for it Josh, you won’t regret it.
I think i am going to go try it right now thanks
Hey i jus got done makin it and im sittin here enjoyin it as i type and im lovin the x-tra sugar
peace
wow, that is soo Utah of you–or so they say, down here in Texas.
Hmmm, what a bunck of wankers.
Add some peach schnappes for a delightful twist
I am doing this for a class…
Warning: don’t eat an entire batch in one sitting yourself. As much as you will be tempted, you WILL feel ill.
LOVE IT!!!
WORD…..
A SISTA BE PUTTIN MAD DOG IN DA MIX TA KICK IT IN DA CRIB WID MY BABY DADDY..
HOLLA BACK
Huh?
I just wanna Holla Back at my sista Kyoka. Dis drinks da bomb with Mad Dog. Yo, check it, when I wants to get my swerve on, I holla at my woman “WOMAN! You better get your ghetto butt in da kitchen and make me my orange julius!” That’s what I’m talkin bout.
OUT!
Twista
Oh. Well why didn’t she just say so?
Thanks for the props my brotha. But if my man was to holla at me like dat – he be wearin that OJ and dat would be the end of his appreciatin my DD’s!!
WORD…
I agree with Kyoka. A man should treat his woman right, and give her all the respect she is due.
Look here Uncle Tom. You ain’t one of them fruit pickers r u?
You should learn to appreciate a woman, Mr. Twista.
The fact that you are incapable of carrying on a normal conversation without stooping to slurs against a man’s masculinity speaks volumes about you – not about me.
How easy it is for people to say and do things online whereas they would not consider such behavior in polite society.
Huh?
I been sniffin up the wrong tree for a good man like you – dat knos how to treat a fine lady like myself. Where u at?
Thank you for the kind words, Kyoka. I am in Texas (though I never heard the expression “that’s so Utah of you). How about you?
Well shut my mouth! I been stayin wit my baby daddy at his Grammas crib in Oklahoma – we almost neabors!! I been thinkin bout checkin out the seen in Dallas – you kno, getin my carreer goin and all. I shood look u up. You like kids?
Interesting conversation. It’s to bad that you all find it necessary to speak such a foriegn language, though.
This is one of my new favorites!
Your site is very nice
