Love it! I make these all the time now. We uses to spend a ton of money at the mall on the Julius' but these are WAY better and less expensive.

This is so delicious. My 6 year old son loves it (and so do I!)

I used the rest of the fat free evaporated milk I had this morning to make this drink. I did not add the extra sugar. Instead of ice, I used two frozen bananas. My husband is a Orange Julius fan and he loved this smoothie. Using the evaporated milk made this really rich and creamy. We loved this. Next time, I'll know to make double for seconds.

It's like going to the mall without leaving your home! We only have skim milk in the house, so we doubled the amount of milk and didn't add any water. Yum!

Added a splash of heavy cream for richness and a little less sugar. Served the kids then added Mango Malibu for the adults. (Put the extra in popsicle holders, froze them and made icy cocktails the next night too!!) Keeper!

I read all the reviews that talked about using less sugar but I wanted to try the recipe as written. It did turn out to be super sweet, but it was still really good. My husband thought it was perfect though, so I would suggest that the amount of sugar used should be to your personal preference. Next time I will only use 1/4 cup.

Refreshing and wonderful. I used low sugar orange juice and added no extra sugar. Loved it!

Great! My husband thought it tasted just like the mall Orange Julius' drink. Thanks for the recipe.

This was good, but doesn't taste anything like an Orange Julius. Maybe it's because there's too much sugar as other reviewers pointed out - I feel like the vanilla tastes a bit off, too. I don't think I'll make this one again, but it wasn't horrible.

This is my favorite treat! I found this recipe a while back and now it's the only one I use! You can dress it up any way you want, we sometimes throw in some bananas or strawberries, but the recipe is perfect just the way it is.
