Blend the mixture on high until smooth, about 30 seconds. The mixture should be creamy and a little frothy.
Pour the homemade Orange Julius into glasses and serve!
Can I make an orange julius ahead of time?
A homemade Orange Julius recipe is best served straight from the blender.
However, I’ve let it sit in the refrigerator for a few hours, and I can attest that it’s still delicious after sitting (it’s still smooth and creamy, but the texture changes slightly since the ice melts).
Variations
- Want a less sweet drink? You can cut the sugar in half.
- Instead of orange juice concentrate, try this with lemonade concentrate or limeade concentrate. Grape juice concentrate would be good, too!
- Substitute powdered sugar for the granulated sugar.
- Want to make a dairy-free Orange Julius? Instead of cow’s milk, substitute your favorite dairy-free milk alternative such as oat milk, almond milk, or soy milk.
