Allergy Friendly Orange Julius
This Allergy Friendly Orange Julius is creamy, frothy, and delicious, yet dairy and nut milk free!
It’s National Food Allergy Week and so I’ve teamed up with a few other bloggers to bring you some delicious allergy-friendly recipes! (Scroll to the bottom of this post for more recipes.)
Did you know there are 8 foods that are responsible for 90% of food allergies? They are: milk, eggs, wheat, soy, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, and shellfish.

Our family has been fortunate enough to not have to alter our diets because of a food allergy, but I know there are so many people out there who have to change what they eat due to an allergy, so I thought it would be fun to re-invent one of my favorite drinks to make it dairy and nut free.
Some of you may be thinking, Orange Julius doesn’t have nuts in it, so of course it’s nut free! Well, a lot of dairy-free people use nut milks, which wouldn’t work for those who have allergies to tree nuts, so this recipe can use rice milk OR coconut milk.
Now, before you get after me for coconut milk being classified by the FDA as a tree nut, let me assure you that coconut is not a common allergen and is not related to tree nuts. If you have a tree nut allergy, consult your physician to find out if you need to avoid coconut.
Orange Julius is one of my favorite breakfast drinks! We also enjoy it in the summer for a dessert-like smoothie. Plus I get to use one of my favorite kitchen appliances, my Blendtec, to make it! Easy and delicious!

We would drink those soo much this summer!
Yes, I think I have a food allergy with a combination of Samo seeds and spinach. I would like to try many fruit smoothies and green smoothies in this blender other than the combination that I mentioned.
Amber, these Orange Julius’ look SO good!! I can not wait to try this recipe!
I follow a gluten-free, lacto-ovo vegetarian diet. The recipe that I am most excited to try in my new Blendtec is your Tropical Green Smoothie recipe.
I would love to win this BlendTec . . . . I’m already thinking of the wonderful recipes I would make with it. My granddaughter was just diagnosed with nut tree allergies, so thanks for the info on coconut milk.
This sounds refreshing, luckily no one in our house has an allergies.
‘m so glad that I don’t have any food allergies, but I still neeeed to get a good Blender! I absolutely adore smoothies, and I’ve always wanted to get a BlendTec, for not just smoothies, but recipes and nut butters and so much others!
Ooh, I am SO down with these gorgeous drinks! Orange julius is my FAV this time of year! This looks so refreshing and I love that it’s allergy-friendly!
Luckily I don’t have any food allergies. But some times I just feel like being extra “healthy” and will alter recipes for that reason alone.
Luckily no food allergies here either. Just a few dislikes 😉
