15 Reviews of Orange Julius Smoothie

A classic cold treat! We did find that the extra concentrate made it a bit too tart for our tastes, though. We tried adding a banana to help mellow it out a bit, but ended up adding extra of the other ingredients anyway. There wasn't a drop left in the blender, though, that's for sure! For those concerned about wasting OJ as another reviewer stated, you can get 6 oz cans or else just save half of the 12 oz can in the freezer indefinitely or in the fridge for a couple of days (although we doubled ours due to needing a higher number of servings anyway). Either way, my kids were thrilled. Thanks so much for posting. :o)

This is so good! I left it in the blender a little longer to be sure all the ice was incorporated. I also used Splenda to save a few calories. A delicious do again recipe, for sure. Thanks for posting, Kaarin.

I'm drinking one right now, and I can say this recipe is perfect! I've always loved orange Julius's from the mall, but I think this is better! However, I didn't add any sugar, but it still turned out perfect (I actually think adding the sugar would make it too sweet). Someday I plan on trying it with fresh orange juice, sure to be good!

I doubled the recipe b/c I didn't like the idea of wasting half of a 12 oz can of oj concentrate. We are a budget-minded military family. This was a very strong drink because of the limited amount of water to balance out concentrate. I can't vouch for how close it is to an Orange Julius but I rate it a 4 because of the potential waste and the overwhelming concentrate based taste. Maybe we prefer an orange juice based which yields a milder, smoother flavor. My family said it tasted like an ice cream drink rather than a smoothie. I agree. Thanks for sharing!

This is so good! I used two cups of orange juice and 10 ice cubes instead of water and used 1/2 teaspoon vanilla. Thanks for sharing!
