- Serve and enjoy immediately!
Notes
- The key to a perfect Strawberry Julius is to use very cold or frozen strawberries. This not only makes your drink nice and cold but also eliminates the need for extra ice, which can water down the flavor.
- There is variation in the amount of sugar, as it largely depends on how sweet your berries are, to begin with. The sweetness/ripeness of your natural berries will make a big difference!
- Whole milk is preferred for a creamier texture, but you can also use low-fat or almond milk for a lighter version.
- If your mixture is too thick, add a little more milk. If it's too thin, add more strawberries or ice.
- Serve your Strawberry Julius immediately for the best flavor and texture.
