This has the same familiar taste as those orange julius drinks that were such a favorite about 20 years ago! I cut the serving size to 2, didn't use white sugar but subbed 3 tablespoons of agave sweetener in it's place. I did use additional ice cubes and cut back on the milk for a refreshingly thick icier drink. These will be great on a hot summer day!

I thought this recipe was good but it was really tart. I would reccommend adding more milk or vanilla ice cream to make it more like an orange creamsicle

Hrm. This was 'okay'. It's a little too orange-juice tasting for me, even with the other ingredients. I may try it with condensed milk, though, that sounds incredibly good (if too sweet). Good for a quick pick-me-up, in any case. I'll experiment a bit.

This recipe is known in Puerto Rico as Champola and in Dominican Republic, instead of milk and sugar they use condensed milk. I tried it for breakfast and I'm sure I'll be doing it again soon!!!!

Tasty! Here's a tip...use powdered sugar so it disolves. Regular sugar can be grainy. Also don't use that nasty splenda cr*p, it's so bad for you. This is just like an orange julius!

pretty darn good! i didn't have milk so i used evaporated milk (1/4 evaporated milk + 1/4 water = 1/2 "milk"). i also used less sugar and added a banana making it thicker, creamier and more like a smoothie! Mmmm...

I really liked this drink and so did my picky sister-in-law. The only thing I didn't care for was the grainy texture from the sugar. I also made a batch with some strawberry preserves added, and it was delicious! Thanks!

Wow! This reminds me of the Orange Julius' we used to get at the mall. I really enjoyed the smooth texture and 'pop' of orange juice. Is it mean to pour mine in a much bigger glass than my boys'? Oh, well, I guess they'll pay me back with all of their sugar intake. Heh. Thank you for the recipe, Judy! We loved it!

mmmm...good and orange-y. I think with regular OJ, it needs a bit of sugar.

Great recipe! My whole family LOVED it! I second using orange juice. It works well too. 6 ounzes is fine. You can also use evaporated milk. Nice light taste. It is so good that I literally tipped my head and glass back to get every last drop!

If you want an Orange Julius-type drink, this is the one for you. Instead of using oranje juice concentrate, we just used plain-old orange juice (we just kinda winged it, but I'm guess about 1 1/2 cups?) Also, instead of sugar we used Splenda. Not only is the Splenda better for you, but it dissolved better too, so I highly reccomend it. This is a great recipe that turns out nice and frothy, just like Ornage Juliuses. :D

i give this two stars because my children did love this. my husband described it as runny syrup - what kid isnt going to love that. it was too sweet and even though we added a lot of water to it after the initial taste, it was just too much.

WOW! A blast of orange flavored slush. Wonderful taste and pretty presentation with a mint leaf to garnish.For personal taste, I reduced sugar to 1/4c and increased vanilla to 1t. Thanks Judy.
