There’s just something special about the Ninja Slushie Orange Julius. I made many delicious recipes using my Ninja Slushie machine, and honestly, this machine always does a great job. But this one? It’s perfect.
I never skip this recipe, especially on a hot summer day when I need a cool slushie to recharge my body and push through the heat.

Orange Julius has been around for years. That soft, creamy orange drink you get at the mall? Yep, that’s the one. It’s sweet, tangy, and smooth—like a mix between a smoothie and a slushie.
The creamy, sweet, and citrus taste was something I loved. Now I can make it at home with my Ninja Slushie machine. This machine is so helpful to make this slushie because it gets the texture just right.
Today I’m sharing this amazing Ninja Slushie Orange Julius Recipe with you. You can make this drink in just a few minutes.
Why You’ll LOVE This Recipe
You will love this recipe because it’s so easy to make and tastes amazing. You just mix, pour, press a button, and enjoy.
I tried many Orange Julius recipes before but this one is the best. The Ninja Slushie machine makes it super smooth and creamy. Also you can adjust the sweetness and creaminess to your liking.
Plus, it uses fresh orange juice and a touch of vanilla which brings in that classic, almost dessert-like flavor.
Ninja Slushie Orange Julius Ingredients
- Orange Juice (48 oz, no pulp): Use fresh, no-pulp orange juice because it blends better and gives the slushie a smooth texture. A good amount is needed since this is the base of the drink. It’s sweet, citrusy, and refreshing.
- 2% Milk (16 oz): Milk helps give the drink its creamy texture. 2% adds richness without being too heavy. Whole milk can be used for a creamier version, but 2% strikes the right balance.
- Vanilla Extract (1 tbsp): This small addition makes a big difference. Vanilla brings that soft, almost dessert-like flavor remembered from a real Orange Julius.
- Allulose (1 cup): Allulose is a low-calorie sweetener that doesn’t spike blood sugar and tastes a lot like real sugar. It dissolves well and gives that sweetness expected without making the drink overly sugary.
Recommended Equipment
- Ninja Slushie Maker – This is the main tool that gives the drink that perfect slushie texture
- Mixing Bowl or Cup – To mix the milk and sweetener before adding
- Spoon or Whisk – For stirring the mixture well
- Measuring Cups & Spoons – To get your amounts exactly right

How To Make Ninja Slushie Orange Julius
Step 1 | Add the Vanilla
Open your Ninja Slushie container. Pour in 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract. This step adds a nice, sweet smell and flavor.
Step 2 | Mix Milk and Allulose
In a cup or bowl, add 16 oz of 2% milk and 1 cup of allulose. Use a spoon to stir until the sweetener is completely gone—no grains left behind. Stirring well now makes sure your slushie is smooth later.
Step 3 | Pour Milk Mixture into the Ninja
Put the milk and sweetener mix into your Ninja Slushie container. No need to scrape every last bit, but get as much as you can.
Step 4 | Rinse With Orange Juice
Add a small splash of orange juice to your mixing cup. Swish it around to catch any leftover sweetener and add that to the Ninja. It saves all the flavor.
Step 5 | Add the Rest of the Orange Juice
Pour in the rest of your 48 ounces of orange juice, right on top of the other ingredients.
Step 6 | Set the Ninja
Close the lid tightly. Instead of choosing the frozen juice option, use the slush setting so your drink comes out just like the real Orange Julius—not too icy, more like a thick, cold slush.
Step 7 | Adjust Temperature
Set your temperature on the Ninja to level 6. This helps the drink become slushy but not rock-solid.
Step 8 | Blend and Wait
Let the Ninja mix everything together. It’s quick—just a few minutes—and you’ll notice the blend goes from liquid to thick, creamy slush.
Step 9 | Serve and Enjoy
Pour your Orange Julius slush into a glass or cup that you like best. It’s ready to drink right away, cold and smooth.
Make the Perfect Orange Julius Slushie
- Use cold ingredients: Use cold ingredients straight from the fridge for a frostier slushie.
- Don’t overfill the Ninja: Don’t overfill the Ninja container—leave a little space for blending.
- Clean right after using: Clean the Ninja right after using it to avoid sticky messes.
- Taste before blending: Taste the mix before blending. Add a bit more sweetener if you like it sweeter.
- Serve with a straw: Serve with a straw for easy sipping.
- Adjust thickness if needed: If the slushie is too thick, add a splash more orange juice and blend again.
What Goes Great with an Orange Julius Slushie
This slushie goes great with a light snack or meal. I like to have it with toast and peanut butter or a simple breakfast sandwich. It’s also perfect alongside something salty like pretzels or popcorn.
At Jollibee, they usually pair sweet drinks like this with their fried chicken or burger steak meals. It works so well because the cold, sweet drink balances out the warm, savory food.
You can also enjoy this with a slice of banana bread, a grilled cheese sandwich, or even some fruit slices on the side.
Make Ahead Tips
You can prep this recipe ahead if you’re short on time. Just mix the milk, sweetener, and vanilla and store it in the fridge. Keep your orange juice cold too. When you’re ready to enjoy, pour everything into the Ninja and blend.
This way, you save time but still get a fresh drink. Just don’t blend it too early or the texture won’t be right. Always blend right before serving for the best results.
How To Store Leftover Properly
Storing leftover Ninja Slushie Orange Julius is easy, but the texture is best when fresh. If you have leftovers, pour them into a sealed jar or container and keep in the fridge.
For the next day, the slush might melt and turn into juice, but you can re-blend it in the Ninja with a few ice cubes to bring back that slushie feel.
You can also freeze leftover slushie in an airtight container for up to one week. When you want to drink, let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes, then stir it or give it a quick blend again.
Do not eat if the mix smells sour, looks strange, or has been left out on the counter for more than two hours.
Ninja Slushie Orange Julius Recipe FAQs
1. Do I need a Ninja Slushie machine for this recipe?
A Ninja Slushie machine makes this recipe so easy and gives the best slushie texture. If you don’t have one, you could try using a blender with lots of ice, but the texture might not be as perfect.
2. Why doesn’t my slushie come out smooth?
It’s best to use no-pulp juice for a creamy finish. Make sure the sweetener is fully mixed with the milk before adding to the Ninja. If you use milk right from the fridge and fresh ice, you should get a perfect slushie every time.
3. Can I add other fruits to this recipe?
Sure thing! You can toss in a little pineapple juice or mango puree for a tropical twist. Just keep the total liquid around 48 ounces so the texture stays right. Blend a small amount first to test the flavor.
4. What if my slushie is too watery?
If your slushie is too thin, your orange juice or milk might’ve been too warm. Next time, use cold ingredients straight from the fridge. You can also pop the slushie in the freezer for 10 minutes to firm it up. If it’s still watery, lower the Ninja’s temperature setting to 5 and blend again.
