So refreshing on a hot summer day.
This morning I made a mistake and walked a couple of miles to the library. At 9:00 it wasn’t that hot out but by 11:00 it was unbearably hot! As soon as we got home I made this Strawberry Julius Smoothie recipe. Although we had taken water along I wanted to ensure that Eli had enough fluids. I knew this would do just the trick. It’s a little sweeter than our typical Green Smoothies. 🙂 Oh and it tastes wonderful by the way!
Simply combine all ingredients in a blender:
- 2 cups strawberries (about 1 container)
- 1 cup of milk (skim tastes great)
- 1 t. vanilla
- 16 ice cubes
- 1/4 c. sugar or your choice of sweetener-You can omit this but the hubby sure enjoys his with a kick of sugar. 🙂
- Enjoy!
If you don’t have strawberries on hand you can also make an Orange Julius.
- 1 can frozen orange juice concentrate
- 1/2 c. Cream or milk
- 1/4 c. sugar
- 4 c. ice
Both of these smoothies would make a wonderful treat for your hubby after a long hard day at work or mowing the grass. I have such fond memories of being a newlywed and making Brandon an Orange Julius while he mowed the yard at our first house. 🙂
