As a teen, I spent my entire week dreaming of the weekend, where I would grab my favorite strawberry drink from Orange Julius at the mall with friends. Those were some fun Saturdays!
I mean… shopping and sweet sips are the perfect combo, right?
Well now you can relieve all of those same sweet memories when you make my super easy copycat version of your favorite frothy, sweet strawberry drink!
Oh… and this strawberry julius recipe just so happens to be wildly easy to make.
Seriously, you’ll be done almost before you begin! Just like when you make my dreamy Peach Milkshake, tropical Pineapple Milkshakes, and cookie monster approved Oreo Shake.
And when you’re at home, the sweet sips from this strawberry orange julius are just the thing to help you unwind, relax and get recharged!
So are you ready to make yours?
Here’s what you’ll need…
Ingredients
Like with all of my easy Copycat Recipes, you’ll only need a few simple ingredients to make the BEST copycat strawberry julius recipe!
And don’t forget – you’ll also need a kitchen blender!
- Strawberries – You will use frozen strawberries, just like in my berry-delicious Strawberry Banana Protein Shake and Blueberry Spinach Smoothie.
- Milk – With this strawberry julius recipe, the higher the fat content, the richer the flavor! I like to use Whole Milk, but 2% can be substituted.
- Sugar – Just your standard granulated sugar. (white sugar)
- Vanilla Extract – This adds a sweet kiss of vanilla to this strawberry orange julius recipe.
- Vanilla Ice Cream – I recommend using a higher quality ice cream for best flavor.
- Ice Cubes – I call for large ice cubes, but if you only have smaller ice cubes simply use a few more to ensure you have the perfect icy cold consistency.

I’m loving it. The strawberries are so good.
Bonne journée
I totally agree Delphine. A strawberry julius is such a delicious way to enjoy strawberries!
My gosh I haven’t had a Julius drink since high school when we’d hang out at the mall every weekend! This brings back such awesome memories, I love that it’s so simple and made with real ingredients!
This drink is definitely a game changer for our scorching Arizona summers. It’s definitely going on repeat!
I get those same mall memories when I make it… and I definitely agree about it being the perfect drink for the Phoenix heat! Nothing beats an orange julius when it’s 110 degrees outside! 🙂
This Strawberry Julius Recipe is a fantastic throwback! It’s such a refreshing, creamy treat that comes together so quickly with just five simple ingredients. The addition of vanilla ice cream is a total game-changer for getting that perfect mall-style consistency right at home. Definitely a must-try for a quick summer cool-down!
It really is so good Betty… and even better since it can be hard to find an Orange Julius location where you can order one!
