Strawberry-Orange Julius

How about a super yummy, super frothy, drink to start your morning? Sounds good, doesn’t it! It sure did to me.

If you like the original drink from “Orange Julius” in the mall, you’ll like this. I can’t promise its an exact knock off, but it is very tasty. And full of sugar. But you can just ignore that last part.

Make some. I dare you.

Strawberry-Orange Julius

1 package of fresh strawberries, approx. 1 lb.
1 cup milk
1 cup water
6 oz (half a container) frozen orange juice concentrate
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
10-12 ice cubes

Remove stems and wash strawberries. Cut in half.

Combine all ingredients (except ice) in a blender and blend until smooth.

Add ice cubes one at a time, blending well after each, until desired consistency.

VARIATION:
To make an original Orange Julius (without strawberries), leave out the strawberries, decrease the sugar to 1/4 cup, and use 8-10 ice cubes.
