Strawberry Banana Julius Food

STRAWBERRY JULIUS

Steps:

• Slice up fresh strawberries until you have enough to fill a one cup measure.
• Add to a blender or food processor, or if you only have a stick mixer, just put it in a large pyrex jug.
• Add rest of ingredients.
• Blend until smooth.
• You may want to try this a little bit cooler for summer days, omit the water and add a few ice cubes.
• I only leave out the ice cubes because my food processor can't handle hard ice.
• 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.

STRAWBERRY JULIUS

• Place all ingredients into a blender and mix until well blended. Serve in a tall glass with a straw.
• Sometimes I will add orange slices, bananas, or blueberries if I have some extras needing to be eaten. I also have made it a bit more like a smoothie by substituting 1 cup vanilla yogurt for one cup of milk. I have also used Splenda in place of the sugar with success.
