Strawberry Julius

Description: 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".

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 (about 50g) or 1/4 cup superfine sugar (about 50g)
• 1/2-2/3 teaspoon vanilla (extract or flavouring to preference)

Steps:

1. Slice up fresh strawberries until you have enough to fill a one cup measure.
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. Add rest of ingredients.
4. Blend until smooth.
5. You may want to try this a little bit cooler for summer days, omit the water and add a few ice cubes.
6. I only leave out the ice cubes because my food processor can't handle hard ice.
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.
