This amazing & creamy Strawberry Julius recipe was originally shared in May 2013. I’m resharing because it’s not only delicious and easy to make, but the perfect summertime drink recipe!
In the mall where I grew up there was an Orange Julius. It isn’t there now, but I remember that whenever we’d go there and hang out during high school (there wasn’t much else to do in Cache Valley, so wondering the mall was the ‘cool’ thing) we would stop by and get one. My favorite was the Strawberry Julius. Not a huge fan of orange, but strawberries are WONDERFUL! So this drink was just so refreshing, flavorful and creamy. I’ve been craving one for awhile, since we went on a LONG drive to Disneyland in March. One of the places we stopped for lunch had an Orange Julius place there, and it was a great trip down memory lane to get a Strawberry Julius. Then I decided that I should make it myself! If I’d realized how simple it was, I would’ve been making them for quite awhile!
Ingredients
1 cup Water
1/2 cup Milk
1 cup Sugar
1 tsp. Vanilla extract
1 lb. Strawberries, stems cut off
1 tray Ice
Directions
Mix all of the ingredients in the blender until smooth. Enjoy!!!

Hi! Found you on Ginger Snap Crafts. Yum!! I love orange julius, and love strawberries more then oranges so I;m sure I will like this. Going to try with frozen strawberries though. Now following on G+.
~Jackie @ The Non-Martha Momma
Oh, do let me know how the frozen strawberries work out! In our tiny apartment right now we have little (basically no) freezer space, so I’m unable to do frozen berries and such right now. I’d love to know how it turns out! I hope you have a positively awesome weekend!
That was my favorite drink ever as a kid!
Really?! Me, too! If I’d known sooner how simple they’d be to make I would’ve been doing this for ages….better late than never, though! Hope you have a FANTASTIC weekend Dorothy!
I’m pretty sure my daughter would love me forever if I made this for her, lol! Just saw your link over at Be Different, Act Normal’s Link Party and thought I’d stop by and check out your yummy recipe!

Oooo, this looks like an awesome treat for this summer! Thanks for sharing at Simple Supper Tuesday.

Cami @ TitiCrafty by Camila
Thanks so much, Cami! This week HAS been great, actually 🙂 Hope yours has been wonderful, as well!
ha! Just read your spam message about the marriage issue from England… thats a new one to me :o) We used to make homemade orange julius… this version looks yumy too! Thanks for linking up to Tasteful Tuesdays and for the link back :o) Can’t wait to see what you bring next week. Emily @ Nap-Time Creations
oh, and I just posted looking for some help with my blog… maybe you can offer some advice?
I know – isn’t that just the funniest, most random thing ever? I got it deleted, but it really sent me for a loop because I was just so confused Lol I haven’t done the regular Orange Julius (mostly because I’m not an orange fan, but I bet hubby would love it, and the kids), but yes I LOVE the strawberry one!
Hmmmm….going to think on that post for a bit so I can really try to help out. I’ve only been doing this for less than 3 months, so probably can’t provide too much advice that’s truly helpful, but let me think on it today and I’ll send you an email tonight with some thoughts 😀
I remember the Orange Julius! Your Strawberry Julius looks so refreshing! Beautiful presentation too! Thanks for sharing at Party In Polka Dots!
Shelley
Awww, thanks Shelley! The pretty pink coloring was so fun to photograph, it was hard to choose which one was my favorite to post 😀 Hope you have a fantastic Memorial Week!
I am sure this is amazing… I will have to give it a try! Perfect for summer… Thank you so much for coming to share at Super Saturday Show & Tell! I’d love to have you come and share again today http://www.whatscookingwithruthie.com Have a great weekend! xoxo~ Ruthie
Thanks so much Ruthie! This drink is definitely perfect for summer 🙂 I absolutely made sure I got all linked up at the party – wouldn’t miss it! Hope your enjoying your Memorial Weekend!
Ummmmm…i CUP of sugar??? Is that a typo???
I wish it was a typo….but to get the same flavor/sweetness as from the normal Strawberry Julius place, it does take a full cup of sugar. Definitely a yummy treat, but not a health smoothie!
I can’t wait to make this with fresh Michigan strawberries. YUM!! Thanks for sharing at FTAF! Pinned!
Oooh yes!!! I love fresh strawberries – especially the nice, juicy big ones!
