The 2”x2” paper recipe my family has used on Christmas morning since before I was born (?), in front of the glasses we’ve used just as long. We serve it in sugar-rimmed glasses. Served with cinnamon rolls or monkey bread. You know, Midwest sugar breakfast. You can’t improve on perfection!

And this is my first Reddit post! Long-time appreciator.

    I can taste this just reading the words ‘Orange Julius’. I really miss malls! 🧡🧡🧡

    Did you see the news yesterday that Minute Maid is discontinuing its frozen juice cans in the U.S. and Canada? You may want to stock up now!

  4. Don’t forget to add an egg (for the very brave only).

    I used to be the manager of an Orange Julius in Colorado for about a minute in the 70s. Made $1.76/hr. Was living the dream.

    I used to make this when I was a kid and couldn’t figure out the ratios… Last time I made it (a decade or more ago now) I nearly went into a diabetic coma and it put me off trying again for a while. I much prefer getting it this way… Thank you for sharing!!!

    Make Orange Julius with Meringue Powder and it will taste like the real thing.

    The original Julius had a raw egg mixed into it…

    When I was a kid Orange Julius, in the next town over, was a magical treat only available some of the time.

    My mom used to make this for us when we were kids but she used Tang and called it Orange Devil.
