Baking soda is the secret ingredient I’ve been missing for so long. It neutralizes the acidity of the orange and lends it the creamier flavor that is paramount to an Orange Julius. Give it a try, I promise it’ll make you happy!

  4. I tried really hard to like this. I couldn't get past the baking soda. I mean it was almost perfect, but it had that baking soda after taste. I am going to try again without the baking soda. Thanks for the receipe.

    • That's unfortunate! Maybe you just ended up with a small clump in your cup, because you shouldn't taste it at all. It's exactly what's in the real Orange Julius to make it smooth and creamy!

  5. Thank you for developing and sharing a homemade Julius recipe! Last time I bought an Orange Julius at a mall, it was very disappoint -- not at all the goodness of childhood memory. I would never have guessed the baking-soda secret.
