I crave Grandma Ray’s homemade orange julius recipe almost every night!

Grandma Ray's Orange Julius - this super easy recipe is five ingredients and delivers the BEST julius ever!

Grandma Ray's Orange Julius - this super easy recipe is five ingredients and delivers the BEST julius ever!

Grandma’s house in Coquille, Oregon will always be one of my favorite places on earth.  It is a tiny town in Coos County with less than 4,000 peeps.  Going to stay at her house was more relaxing than any spa vacation I could ever dream up.

Grandma had a soft blue house at the end of a gravel road.  You went down a steep drive until it flattened out.  Her house on the left.  A mini forest on the right that was completely overrun by wild blackberry bushes. She had cleaned up a lot of this mini forest, so that you could walk back into it until you hit a tiny stream.  She even built a small wood bridge over the stream.  Little Brother and I spent so much time running around this little, untouched piece of wilderness smack dab in the middle of a neighborhood.  It was so green in the way that everything in Oregon seems to be–as if it just stopped raining five minutes before you got there.

Our time at Grandma’s was devoid of computers and tech and even movie theaters and restaurants and everything that reminds you of a bustling, fast-paced life. Instead it was cartoons recorded on VHS, puzzles and books, picking blueberries in her backyard, egg-in-the-hole for breakfast, and . . .   ORANGE JULIUS.  Every night (seriously, every night), we would be spread about her small living room, usually bent over a puzzle or reading, with tall icy glasses of orange julius.

Grandma Ray's Orange Julius - this super easy recipe is five ingredients and delivers the BEST julius ever!

Orange julius not only brings back those memories . . . when I’m sipping one, it brings back those emotions and feelings.  Those stress-free, relaxed, at-home, feeling completely and utterly like the true you feelings that you sometimes think you’ve lost as an adult?  Those come rushing back and I am me.  At Grandma’s house.  With orange julius.  Appreciating and prioritizing family and slowness and life without . . . well, life.

I’m not saying everyone needs to pull a Thoreau.  Just that I think it’s important to recognize and appreciate the happiness that can be found in those uncomplicated moments. With a glass of orange julius.  🙂  I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as our family does!

I would love to hear – where is your uncomplicated place, your place where you are you???

    Confession time, I've never had an Orange Julius. I didn't even know what it was! But this looks soooo easy and like it would taste just like a creamsicle. Looks like I'll be trying this for dessert at some point!!

    Whoa! There's no egg white in this! THAT'S SO COOL! This was my all time fave childhood drink. Every time dad took me to the mall I HAD to get this! Now that I think about it, I haven't seen a Orange Julius stand in a while, but I guess that doesn't matter noooow! :D My all-time uncomplicated place is usually right at home under my blankets with some cheese, my pups and my knitting. Ew Cheese knitting right? But my all time serene place was when I traveled up North to a little cottage by myself for a month (and my oscar) all we had were, books a fire stove to keep us warm and lots of winter peaceful hikes in the woods off the beaten paths :)

      Joyce, that sounds amazing!!! Where was the little cottage? I am so jealous. And Yes! No egg whites! Raw egg makes David want to yak and I think this gets plenty frothy without it!
