Orange CHOW-lius Recipe
For many, being a teenager in the ’80s meant hanging at the mall and consuming as many cups of Orange Julius as possible. As a nod to this frothy, orangey drink, which remains one of the best takes on a smoothie ever, we created the Orange CHOW-lius. Made with blood orange juice, it’s a more mature version of the original, but we totally get it if nostalgia requires you to make it with orange juice.
- 1 cup blood orange or orange juice
- 1/4 cup high-quality coconut milk
- Juice of 1 medium lime (about 3 tablespoons)
- 2 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons honey
- Ice
- Combine all ingredients, except ice, in a blender. Fill the blender with ice to the 3-cup mark and blend on high speed until smooth and frothy, about 1 minute.
And the option of a raw egg!
In my recollection, Orange Julius had some vanilla (or the fake stuff) in it somewhere
