This Orange Julius is not too different from many of the copycat recipes online, however, it was designed to be as close to the original in flavor and texture without using 20 ingredients. It's also almost the exact same calories, sugar, fat and protein as the original. The key to this is the ratio of liquid to ice and the amount of time spent blending the drink. I've included 3 recipes. The original Orange Julius, a Dirty Orange Julius with rum, and a tropical strawberry version as well.
