Guest guest Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 I'm not a Splenda fan (I hate the stuff) but it's a good idea that I'd sweeten differently. I'd also use skim milk ice cubes (cubes work better in the Vitamix than crushed ice if you're looking for a thick result). Thanks for sharing! Orange un-Julius Hi there, The other day I bought a 5-pound box of Satsuma Mandarins. They are super-easy to peel. Each morning I peel up two, break them apart, and drop them into my Vitamix along with crushed ice, a packet of Splenda, and a couple of drops of vanilla extract. The blended mix tastes just like an Orange Julius! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 No, OJ isn't as acidic as lemon juice. In fact, Orange Juliuses were blended with some sort of powdered milk base. I used to really like them--too bad they're gone. In retrospect, they were kind of a mainstream precursor to smoothies.

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 I am also not a fan of artificial sweeteners. I would use honey or agave nectar, or just enjoy the natural sweetness of the fruit. Sounds yummy, otherwise!

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 Why would you want to? A commercial orange julius is loaded with artificial ingredients, and a lovely fresh one can be made in the Vitamix.

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 Because I like them. However, a little research since this thread started disclosed a good recipe (purported to be "the original") source so I can just whip them up with no guilt (not that I let these things bother me all that much--it's all about the taste for me).

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 Jersey City isn't on my list of must-visit hot spots, especially given the fact that I'd have to pay to get there. And according to the Orange Julius "find a store near you" service, the nearest location to my ZIP Code that vends Orange Juliuses is a place that's not even open yet, also somewhere "over the river" as my adviser so euphemistically puts it. Given all that, I think I can continue to survive without them.

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 We still have Orange Julius at the mall...when did they go out of business? Ours is still open in the mall but maybe dairy queen kept some open. Re: Orange un-Julius Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 It seems they were sold, not that they went out of business. DQ, to its credit, is keeping it going. Re: Orange un-Julius Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 Just the fruit would be my first choice, but if I felt the need for additional sweetener, I would personally go with raw agave or honey. I grow stevia, but I don't use it myself very often. Agave is usually my "go-to" sweetener. I'm not a Splenda fan (I hate the stuff) but it's a good idea that I'd sweeten differently. I'd also use skim milk ice cubes (cubes work better in the Vitamix than crushed ice if you're looking for a thick result). Thanks for sharing!

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 Nice! I just remembered that I used to make an alcoholic drink with coconut milk, orange juice, and can't remember what else, but I would think coconut milk as a sub in a non alcoholic version would be delish!

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 , I know that you drink milk--are you allergic to oranges? By the way, totally OT, but how long does it take you to milk your cow every day and how much milk do you get? It sounds like a lot of hard work except that you can make butter in your Vitamix, not churn it by hand, thank God! I watched the butter video and yes it was weird to see the guy " tamping " down cream!

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 I recently made a blog post about making an Orange Julius in my Vitamix. Here's the original post: http://berlinswhimsy.typepad.com/berlins_whimsy/2010/12/orange-julius.html Here's the recipe: Orange Julius •2 large oranges, peeled •1 C. prepared Orange Juice (or fresh squeezed---even better)! •1/2 C. simple syrup/or agave (to taste) •2 tsp. powdered milk •a handful of ice Blend it all up and enjoy! Serves 2. > > Hi there, > The other day I bought a 5-pound box of Satsuma Mandarins. They are > super-easy to peel.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 Terry--- I cut the peel and the pith off. Depending on how thick or thin you want the consistency of the drink to be, add more orange juice to whole oranges. I like the consistency of the recipe but one of my kids' friends thought it was too " pulpy. " -Amber > > > I recently made a blog post about making an Orange Julius in my Vitamix.
