This copycat Orange Julius recipe is even better than the original.
If you were to order a large Orange Julius, you’d receive a shake with 400 calories and a measly 2 grams of protein.
In contrast, this simple recipe has 280 calories and 40 grams of protein.
So, if you’re looking for a sweet treat that is high-protein, delicious, and filling, then look no further!

Notes:
- I'm using low-calorie orange juice to lower the calories but feel free to substitute with your favourite OJ.
- The first time you make this, try with 2 cups of ice. If you want to make it an even thicker consistency, add another 1/2-1 cup of ice.
