Do you remember the classic orange drink, Orange Julius? Well ,if you don't know what a Orange Julius is click on the following link to read the Story of the Original Orange Julius. You will find out how it became known as one of the most beloved classic drinks. I love, love, love Orange Julius's, but there are no Orange Julius stores anywhere nearby.
No worries though, because I can create this copycat version. It's not the real deal, but taste exact. The following ingredients milk, orange juice, regular and powdered sugar, vanilla and ice are combined to make a fabulous flavored drink that reminds me of orange Dreamsicles. :)

The last time I had an Original Orange Julius was when I was a teenager back in the early 80's. (I know I am old) I was always so excited to head out to the mall with my family. It was the Mall of the Bluffs to be exact which was located in Council Bluffs, Iowa wow that seems like a million miles away from Texas. My brother and I loved to stop at the Orange Julius spot and load up on there famous french fry cups and a large Orange Julius. There was no better combination. We would walk the mall, eat fries and drink our Orange Julius's. I really do miss that.
The picture above reminds me of exactly how the Orange Julius stores in the Mall looked. I can almost taste it now. I heard that orange Julius was bought out by Dairy Queen so I really need to look into that. I know our local Dairy Queen doesn't have the Orange Julius so it must only be only the Tasty Treats/Dairy Queens in the mall, I have yet to see one of those. No worries though you can recreate this creamy dreamy drink at home.

Yesterday I was at a gourmet market and I picked up an Orange Cream soda (diet) and it was so fabulous!
We have an Orange Julius at our mall and we almost always get one now when we go.
I found your blog over at A Crafty Mom's Blog. Thanks for sharing your recipes! I LOVE finding and trying new recipes!
I never did, but I always think of that, when I was little watching them crack an egg into the blender.
Good thing that's gone by the wayside.
Your's looked so good!!! It's made me want one.
Thanks for the memories.
Jewels, you gotta make these. This recipe taste just like the original. Well the original is the best but this does hold its own pretty good. Thanks for stopping by my blog. I am off to check out yours.
Debbie I actually read about the egg being added but they fased it out due to health reasons. I think they replaced it by adding a banana on request. go make you some.
I WILL be making this soon!
my family will FREAK!
