Made popular in malls in the 1980s, this classic drink has actually been around since the 1920s when the first Orange Julius drink stand opened in Los Angeles.

    Can you use almond milk in this recipe or will it change the taste?

    • To me most almond milk tastes different than regular milk but if you enjoy the taste then it will work just fine.

  2. Guest Foodie REVIEW:

    Love this recipe and it tastes so much like Orange Julius. And don't believe the Cool whip version of this recipe - that is nasty and contains way too many chemicals! This one is THE one! (actually the one with egg whites was best but with all the salmonella scares it's not worth the risk)

  3. momoftwoboys REVIEW:

    My kids and I LOVE this. When they want a treat, they ask for this. I can not keep it in my home for long. I could drink this everyday!

    a much better recipe for this is simply mix orange juice with cool whip, add a bit of sugar and blend in blender.

  5. kaanrud REVIEW:

    this is really good and refreshing. I added 6 ice cubes per serving, to make a thicker drink. kaanrud, brookings, oregon
