  • 1 cup orange juice

directions

  • Place ingredients into a blender until ice is finely crushed.
  • More ice will make the drink thicken slightly, as will adding the raw egg.
  • You can also add 1/2 teaspoon (or slightly more) of almond extract which, I've been told, might get you a little closer to "the real deal". :).
  • By the way, this definitely isn't a smoothie recipe. The Orange Julius is much closer to juice in consistency -- not usually "thick" at all. With that said, back when I was a kid, you could ask them to throw in a raw egg and that would thicken the mixture a bit. I've added the egg as an optional ingredient. And I'd definitely add the vanilla extract (and almond for that matter) if you want the "Orange Julius" flavor.

  1. I thought I would try a new recipe, beings I am attatched to the Orange Julius Smoothie recipe by Miss Annie #35185. I wasn't impressed by this recipe at all. There was no flavor to me without the vanilla. I had to add the vanilla just to give it some flavor. To me it tasted pretty bad. I added more orange juice and more ice just to see if I could save the recipe and then it was a bit better, maybe cut down on the milk by 1/2. I will try that and see if the taste will be better. Thanks for posting but I rather have a nice thick smoothie, with wonderful flavor.
     
  2. Mmmm, this is yummy! Didn't have any vanilla, but I thought it tasted great without it!
     
  3. I used the maximum amount of ice cubes and wasn't happy with the results. I processed it twice, but the top half of the glass had like crushed ice with not much flavor. The next time I try this, I will go with the lesser amount of ice. Has very good taste though.
     
  4. This recipe is tops. It taste just like the real thing.
     
  5. Perfect! Thick(slushy) and yummy!
