My family, especially my husband, loves milk shakes. We came up with our own version of an Orange Julius shake many years ago, and still love making it. My husband's family enjoyed a lot of milk shakes growing up. My family didn't use the blender ever, it seemed like. The blender has been one of the quintessential kitchen appliances in our home since our wedding day. I have come to appreciate the simple milk shake because of my husband and his family's tradition. As for the Orange Julius, you might not know what it is unless you are from California. I remember going to the mall and ordering an Orange Julius, it is like an orange creamcicle, but you drink it. This recipe is a joint effort from both my husband and I. We have used countless quarts of vanilla ice cream and various brands of Orange Juice to create this special milkshake. If you know and love Orange Julius, and miss it as much as we do, this recipe is for you. If like us, you were only able to afford an Orange Julius on very very rare occasions, even though you live near a mall with one inside, then this is also for you. Orange Julius and Hot Dog on a Stick, the two small fast foods joints I remember fondly from my childhood mall day's. I didn't spend a lot of time in the mall growing up truthfully. I do remember being in the mall with my two daughter's when they were young and we went to Picture People to have them photographed, afterwards we would get an Orange Julius as a treat. Enough reminiscing, time to share the super easy recipe.
That is a glass of memories, family time, and tradition worth drinking.
