Orange Julius Smoothie

Published on 12.3.2021 by Jen Hansard

RECIPE CARD LEAVE REVIEW
orange julius smoothie

I'm trading in the processed sugar and dairy in the traditional Orange Julius for a smoothie version sweetened with fruit. It's honestly still a super sweet treat, yet my healthy Orange Julius smoothie fuels my body the right way.

Raise your hand if you remember walking by the shopping mall food court and seeing people lined up at Orange Julius? And who remembers recreating the creamy orange smoothie in 7th grade Home Ec?

How to Make a Healthy Orange Julius

I can't wait for you to try this sweet treat! It definitely hits the spot for my sweet tooth and has no weird ingredients.

  1. Blend spinach, oranges and almond milk until smooth (I'm talking no leafy chunks floating around).
  2. Add the banana and blend again until smooth. It helps to use frozen banana to get a chilled smoothie.
  3. Add in ½ teaspoon of vanilla to make this taste even more like a traditional Orange Julius.

My healthy smoothie version is loaded with goodness and doesn't mess around with the sweet factor either. No fake sweeteners are needed! Just make sure you use a ripe banana.

We all know oranges = vitamin C (80% of the recommended daily intake), but did you know that oranges are also full of fiber? Your digestive system will thank you for eating more oranges.

easy, healthy snack

Tips for a Great Smoothie

If the sugar is a little much for you (even though it's 100% natural!), swap half of the banana for a quarter of an avocado. You'll still get the dream cream texture, but not as much sugar in this healthy Orange Julius smoothie.

You can also swap out the almond milk with the plant milk of your choice, coconut, cashew or oat. There are so many great options. Whichever milk you use, make sure it is unsweetened.

When blending this orange smoothie, blend it twice to help your blender chop up the spinach as much as possible.

Adding ice cubes to the glass when you pour out the smoothie will cool down the beverage if using all fresh ingredients.

Orange Julius Smoothie FAQs

What's the difference between an Orange Julius and a smoothie?

The original Orange Julius consists of orange juice concentrate, milk, vanilla, sugar and ice. While it is sweeter than my version, I bet mine still tastes deliciously orange-y! My smoothie contains spinach, oranges, almond milk and banana.

Will I taste the spinach in my smoothie?

It depends! Spinach is typically mild, and the orange and banana in this Orange Julius smoothie are definitely the dominant flavors. You might still get a slightly earthy taste if you've got a sensitive palate.

Are green smoothies healthy for me?

They can be! Make sure yours are loaded with only whole food ingredients (no added sweeteners). Use unsweetened, plant-based milk or water for the base. Boost your smoothies with protein and healthy fats to help your body break down the natural sugars.

easy smoothie recipe

When is the perfect time to drink a smoothie?

  • For breakfast or even on the go with a Mason jar, cute lid and straw.
  • As a nutrition-packed snack that helps you step away from the vending machine!
  • Before or after a workout to add that protein after and MCT oil before to fuel your body during your workout.

Anytime you need a refreshing, fruity drink loaded with fiber, vitamins and minerals, consider blending up a smoothie. It's the healthiest fast food out there and can provide energy, fuel and promote health. Some smoothies like the Orange Julius smoothie recipe contain more natural sugar. Boost these smoothies with a plant-based protein powder to help your body process the sugar.

    Pretty tasty, but a little sour/tart from the oranges. This could easily be fixed by adding a little sweetener.

    I have fond memories of Orange Julius from when I was a kid. This smoothie makes me feel like I’m drinking one again. Although if I really did drink an orange Julius today I’m sure I wouldn’t even like it anymore since I quit dairy and do t have the sweet tooth I once. This smoothie helps preserve the memory in my mind!

    This one was good and I'll definitely make it again. Next time though I'll use fresh oranges. This was the first smoothie that I used frozen orange due to pre-packaging my smoothie mixes and it didn't have quite the flavor that the other orange smoothies have had.

    This was delish! I had a tiny bit of frozen pear leftover with the frozen banana so I chucked that in too and it went really well! I normally shy away from adding nut milk and citrus together and I was surprised at the taste!

    I used 1 orange and then some frozen peaches. I left out the banana because I didn't have one on hand. I was still amazed that it tasted like an Orange Julius. I did what many other readers suggested and added 1/2 cup of almond milk, and a tiny bit of vanilla extract.
    Would give my own version of the recipe 5 stars!

    LOVED this smoothie! Tasted pretty much just like a mall Orange Julius 🙂 I added a little bit more almond milk, and prepped smoothies for the entire family the night before in mason jars for a really easy breakfast treat.

    I added chia seeds, vanilla protein powder and my vitamin d3 and k2 drops along with my vitamin b complex drops. I had this for breakfast after I drank my morning glass of water. This is my one of my favorite smoothies.

    Love this one! SO simple. I only had the "cutie" oranges for my daughter's lunches, so I peeled 4 of them and threw them in the freezer last night so the smoothie would be cold today! Yum.

    My husband and I have been participating in the 30 Day Challenge and have enjoyed everything we’ve tried so far. Today our 3.5 year old helped my husband make the smoothies and he gave her a small cup of her own to try she care in to see me telling me she liked it! Overall she is a great eater and loves fruits and veggies but she’s always said she doesn’t like ‘salad’ which is what she calls any leafy green so the fact that she saw the spinach go in the blender, was willing to try it and actually says she likes it is a big win! Hoping this will be a way to incorporate some more leafy greens into her diet.

    This smoothie was a good one. A little on the thick side, in which I added more liquid to. It was tasty!

    This was a hit! Even my 3 year old is enjoying this challenge and looks forward to helping me make and drink a smoothie each morning. As we were blending the spinach this morning, she said: "Mommy, I like the green stuff." Yay! Thanks for the great recipes!

    This brings me back to being a little girl. My dad and I would go to the mall every Sunday. And every Sunday we would get orange julius! However this is much better! My son and I had this one this morning, he loves oranges!

    it didn't seem to have enough liquid in it... Maybe because I added a lot of spinach, so I added a bit of coconut water to the mix. It was delicious! 🙂

    Was a little too thick, I added extra almond milk but I will add extra water next time instead. Very refreshing taste though 🙂

    Agree with Grace, I don't usually use much orange but it's so refreshing I'm going to use it more, plus oranges come cheap! 🙂

    I don't use orange much in my green smoothies so this is a little different but still refreshing knowing there's extra Vit C there! 🙂
