Very much enjoyed your recipe, although I did alter it a bit ~ I used fresh lemon juice (the amount called for in the recipe) then doubled all the other ingredients since I wanted one large drink all for myself! This is one of the few smoothies in which I've included the ice! Definitely a beverage I'm happy to make again! [Made & reviewed in Healthy Choices ABC tag]

While I loved the idea of this, I found there to be WAY too much lemon juice for my taste. (I did use jarred lemon juice but as that is what the recipe called for I thought I'd be ok.) I originally tried it without sugar and we could not drink it. I ended up doubling some ingredients (orange, milk, ice) and adding several liberal shakes of splenda. It turned out ok, but next time I'll decrease the lemon juice considerably. Thanks for posting a healthy one to try!

I love Orange Julius drinks and this one was head and shoulders above any I've tried!! I could not believe the freshly tart flavor (used fresh lemon juice). I used a Tangelo orange and sprinkled in a little powdered sugar. I will have to run to the store and buy some more oranges.I can't wait to try more of your recipes. Roxygirl in Colorado
