Strawberry Julius

Recipe #24088 | 5 min | 5 min prep | add private note

By: Heather Sullivan

The ultimate mall fruity shake at home! I modified this recipe one day from one i found online. I have sensitive teeth so I don't like ice much anyway. Guaranteed not to give you "slushie headache".

SERVES 2 , 2 six ounce glasses (change servings and units)

Ingredients

  • 1 cup strawberry, sliced (Fresh is best, this is about 100-125grams)
  • 1/2 cup milk (nonfat or lowfat okay)
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 cup caster sugar or superfine sugar (about 50g)
  • 1/2-2/3 teaspoon vanilla (extract or flavouring to preference)

Directions

  1. 1
    Slice up fresh strawberries until you have enough to fill a one cup measure.
  2. 2
    Add to a blender or food processor, or if you only have a stick mixer, just put it in a large pyrex jug.
  3. 3
    Add rest of ingredients.
  4. 4
    Blend until smooth.
  5. 5
    You may want to try this a little bit cooler for summer days, omit the water and add a few ice cubes.
  6. 6
    I only leave out the ice cubes because my food processor can't handle hard ice.
  7. 7
    Also it does tend to separate if you leave it sitting around for a minute, Don't let this put you off, just stir it up a bit, it tastes the same, just tends to be more frothy at the top then.

Went with the powdered sugar as others suggested. I also used half frozen strawberries, half fresh.

    I doubled this for 3 people and it was a good thing. The other two wanted more. I had strawberries I needed to use but had never had a strawberry julius. I figured all the reviews couldn't be wrong. They weren't. I did use powdered sugar as I was worried about the other being somewhat grainy. And I mixed ice cubes and water to make one cup and that worked well. I also Iiked that this recipe didn't call for powdered egg whites since I never have them. Thanks Heather for a recipe that has already been requested again.

    OMG, just tried this recipe yesterday as an after-school drink....YUMMY is all i can say! I also used frozen strawberries, added a banana (strawberry and banana drinks are my all time fav.) and used 1/2 cup water and added 3 large ice cubes, came out perfect!! I WILL be making this again (and again....and again....)

    I tried this recipe with strawberries I had frozen along with a cup of vanilla ice cream and a cup of small ice cubes in place of the water. It turned out cold and thick and was delicious! My teenagers loved it. Next time I'll make it using "Nutrasweet" in place of some of the sugar for myself.
