This copycat Orange Julius recipe is a creamier version of the popular drink, made with vanilla ice cream, frozen orange concentrate, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and ice.
Blend together orange juice concentrate, sugar, milk, ice cream, vanilla, and ice cubes.
Pour into glasses and serve immediately.
Notes
Don’t skip the vanilla extract or the vanilla ice cream, as they give this drink that signature orange Julius or orange creamsicle flavor.
I recommend using a high-quality blender (like Vitamix) to ensure that all the ingredients are blended into a smooth, creamy consistency, much like the classic orange Julius.
