Remember going to the mall as a kid and getting those wonderful Drinks from Orange Julius?
I would go home and mix Orange Juice with Milk and sugar trying to get the same taste.
It never ever worked!
I would end up with curdled milk-chunks in Orange Juice....
ummm YUCK!
I have finally figured out the secret to the perfect copy-cat version you can make at home!!
Creamsicle in a Glass
Ingredients
- 2 cups orange juice
- 1 cup Lemon/Lime Soda
- 3 Tablespoons powdered coffee creamer
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 20'ish ice cubes
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 peeled orange (optional)
- Add all ingredients to a blender.
- Blend until there are no more ice chunks.
- Serve over ice.
- ENJOY!!
**TIPS**
Do NOT substitute milk for the creamer... the acid in the OJ will curdle the milk.. yuck!

Dana, I grew up in Harlingen Texas 1 blk away from the first mall in town & we had an Orange Julius! I used to make them for the kids when they were little, but I never had problems with the milk curdling. I just filled the blender up with ice, poured orange juice & some sugar in & turned on the blender Then added the milk & reblended. Maybe the acid was diluted by the ice. You can always add a fresh egg to the mixture. Love your site & "don't ask me how I know this" lol Barbara in Bastrop
