Now that our schedules have relaxed a little bit for the summer, we’re becoming a little bit lazier in our bedtime and morning routines by watching movies to well after dark, going to bed a whole lot later, and sleeping in until the birds have been outside singing for hours already.
And I’m not complaining one single bit.
When we’re finally all up and going, Little Buddy is raring to go and ready to make up for any seconds he’s missed of the day. I like to start him off with something to drink as I’m preparing his breakfast. I’ve noticed he’s becoming a whole lot pickier lately about his foods so I take every opportunity to make sure his drinks and snacks are packed full of wholesome goodness.
One of my favorite things to whip up for him is this sugar-free orange julius. It’s a simple twist on the classic drink of my childhood, but without any added sugars or sweeteners.
It couldn’t be any simpler to make.
Here’s my recipe.
A quick, refreshing sugar-free orange julius.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups orange juice
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup ice
Instructions

These sugar-free orange julius’ are also great on the go during the summer, too! Just blend together and pour into quart-size mason jars. Pop into the freezer and then remove about 5-10 minutes before ready to serve. They will thaw slightly to provide a great, slushy, refreshing treat in the heat of the afternoon that you’ll feel great about serving!
Did you know that just one 8-ounce serving of 100% Florida Orange Juice is a good source of potassium and folate and is a great source of vitamin C? That same serving provides half of the USDA-recommended daily fruit intake of most adults, based on a 2,000 calorie diet. And I feel good knowing that 100% orange juice has no added sugars or artificial sweeteners.

I was always told not to mix milk and juices together, but I’ll break that rule just to give this a try!
It tastes a great deal like orange sherbert!
Nice! I love an easy drink like this. Great for on-the-go!
Thanks so much, Katrina. It’s perfect for those quick on-the-go moments we all seem to have during the summer. We’re also really loving it as an afternoon snack.
This awesome slushiness looks incredible! And just in time for the hot summer days we’ve been having in LA!
It’s been hotter than hot here in Georgia, too! Hope this cools ya off!
Orange Julius is the best thing ever! I will be making one of these first thing in the morning!
Isn’t it scrumptious? I hope you enjoy it.
Looks really, really good!!! Easy to make and so refreshing!!!! Thanks
Thanks so much, Mary. I bet those grandbabies will LOVE it this summer! Especially the slushy ones out of the freezer!
perfect for the kids and momma

Oh yes, we can’t forget Mama!
I love this! I love making things with natural sugars. This is so much better for you and probably still perfectly sweet! I can’t wait to try this with my kids!
Throw a handful of strawberries in and you have the old Strawberry Orange Julius! Loved them as a kid ~ running for the kitchen now! Yum!
This sounds perfect for a morning…or afternoon treat! I think the vanilla will add a nice touch. Pinning this
Wow, this sounds good. Just perfect for the summer.
Great recipe! Will be linking back to this in my post today
