Strawberry Julius

by

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!!!

    • Thanks, Linda! It’s soooo refreshing, I’ve made it twice this week! It’ll definitely be more frequent when mid-summer hits 🙂 Hope you have a fantastic weekend!

  2. I’ve been trying to find something to do with a bunch of frozen strawberries and this looks like the perfect solution! Visiting from Wonderful Food Wednesday 😉

    • I bet it will be, too! My kids use to hate the blender, but when I tell them it’s for strawberry julius, they deal with the noise just fine 🙂 Thanks so much for visiting!

    • Thanks so much for visiting 🙂 It is sooo delicious, one of my favorites! Gives me even more good reasons to stock up on strawberries and overfill the freezer 🙂

  11. Yummy! I’ll have to try this. Always loved the orange julius. I bet my son would also enjoy this. Found you from Two Girls and a Party Link Up.

    • Awwww, thank you oh so much Meredith! It’s such a nice compliment to have something featured, even better when it’s from such a darling blog 🙂 Totally made my night!

    • 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!

    • 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!

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 😀

  28. 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!

    • 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!
