Creamy Orange Julius is a refreshing, sweet, and frothy citrus drink that blends orange juice, milk, vanilla, and ice for a nostalgic treat that tastes like an orange creamsicle in a glass.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup orange juice (preferably fresh or no-pulp)
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or unsweetened plant-based)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2–3 tbsp sugar or honey (to taste)
  • 1 to 1½ cups ice cubes
  • Optional: 1/2 banana or 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (for extra creaminess)
  • Optional: Whipped cream for topping

Instructions

  1. Add orange juice, milk, vanilla extract, and sugar (or honey) to a blender.
  2. Add 1 to 1½ cups of ice cubes for frothiness and chill.
  3. Optional: Add banana or Greek yogurt for added creaminess.
  4. Blend on high speed until smooth and frothy.
  5. Taste and adjust sweetness or ice if needed.
  6. Pour into glasses and serve immediately. Top with whipped cream if desired.

Notes

  • Use frozen orange juice concentrate for a bolder flavor and colder drink.
  • For extra creaminess, try full-fat milk or coconut milk.
  • Blend just before serving for the best frothy texture.
  • Add a scoop of vanilla protein powder for a post-workout smoothie twist.
