This healthy homemade Vegan Orange Julius tastes like the original, but you can feel good about drinking it.

Have you seen the ingredients in an Orange Julius? There are a couple of ingredients that I can't pronounce and a few that I don't recognize.

To me, that's a sure sign of not-so-healthy food. The original isn't vegan since it has whey and egg white solids.

I haven't had an Orange Julius in over 30 years, so I don't remember exactly what it tastes like. I am going totally off of memory, and I had another person taste test this.

Not only is my version healthier, but it also tastes really good. It tastes kind of like a Creamsicle but in juice form. Orange and vanilla are a match made in heaven, and that's what this is.

I was inspired to make this homemade Orange Julius from a raw version that I made years ago. Even though that version also tastes like an Orange Julius, it is made with a juicer, which not everyone owns. I decided one made with a blender would be more accessible.

Other healthy drinks to try are my Green Cleansing Juice recipe and my Carrot Ginger Juice. Orange drinks to try are my Orange Mocktail with Mint and my Vanilla and Orange Kombucha recipe.

Another orange recipe to try is my Orange Chia Pudding recipe. It also tastes like a creamsicle.

It comes together in minutes.
It tastes like the original, but it is a lot healthier.

🧾 Ingredients

Oranges: I used juiced fresh oranges, but you could also use store-bought orange juice.
Pineapple juice: You can either blend some fresh or frozen pineapple and strain any pulp or use store-bought pineapple juice.
Almond milk: I like to use unsweetened almond milk to control the amount of sweetener, but you could use any dairy-free milk you like.
Vanilla extract: Enhances flavors.
Maple syrup: Adds sweetness. You could also use agave syrup or date paste.

This is an overview of the ingredients. To see the full list of ingredients with measurements and instructions, see the recipe card at the bottom of this post.
