Orange Julius Recipe. The Orange Julius drink started out being my favorite when I went to the Mall as a teenager in the 1970's, so it has endured the test of time. Everyone had to get one. But they kept the recipe a secret for a long time. Be sure to read the History note at the bottom of the page. It's an easy recipe, the original smoothie.
Since kohlrabi is a cool-weather crop, most gardeners plant it in late winter or early spring and again in the late summer or early fall in order to get two crops a year.
Harvest kohlrabi stems when they are still young and tender, usually about 2 1/2 to 4 inches in diameter. Harvest by cutting them from the base of the plant. You can trim the leaves from the stem and save them to cook separately. Kohlrabi keeps for 2 to 3 weeks in the fridge. You can peel and slice kohlrabi tubers to eat them raw with dips or in salads, or you can cook them like turnips. The leaves are cooked until just tender, like cabbage or turnip greens.
