Recreate the nostalgic Orange Julius mall favorite at home with this Ninja Slushi Orange Julius Milkshake recipe. Cold, creamy, and bursting with sweet citrus vanilla flavors, this easy-to-make milkshake blends perfectly in the Ninja Slushi machine to deliver a refreshing frozen drink that’s deliciously smooth and satisfyingly thick.
Ingredients
Milkshake Base
- 1 ½ cups whole milk (any milk can be used, whole milk recommended for thicker texture)
- ¾-1 cup sugar or sweetener (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Orange Flavor
- 3-4 cups orange juice (use less for a milder orange taste, 4 cups for stronger flavor)
Instructions
- Prepare the Milkshake Mixture: In a bowl or container, combine the milk, sugar or sweetener, and vanilla extract. Stir well until the sugar or sweetener is completely dissolved to ensure a smooth mixture.
- Load the Ingredients into the Ninja Slushi: Pour the prepared milk mixture along with the orange juice into the Ninja Slushi machine. Secure the lid according to the machine’s instructions.
- Start the Machine: Press the milkshake button on the Ninja Slushi machine to begin processing the drink.
- Allow Processing Time: Let the slushie cycle run for 15 to 45 minutes. The exact time depends on the sugar content and the temperature of the liquids; higher sugar or warmer liquids may take longer to freeze to the desired consistency.
- Serve the Milkshake: When the cycle is complete, position a cup under the self-serve spout and pull the handle to dispense the freshly made frozen Orange Julius milkshake. Enjoy immediately!
Notes
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of sugar or sweetener to suit your taste preferences.
- Whole milk is recommended for the creamiest texture, but any milk including plant-based can be used.
- For a stronger orange flavor, use 4 cups of orange juice; use less for a subtler taste.
- Allow the machine enough time to properly freeze the mixture for best texture.
