Remember the days of summer when you were treated with an icy cold, frothy julius? Well you can make them yourself and what better time than the holidays to start? Set up the blenders or food processors and make them at your holiday party! They will be the hit of the party.
Fresh juice is always best if you can get it and the egg is the key to the drink’s consistency.
I use an egg white, but any pasturised egg white product will give you the frothiness that makes the drink unique.
Orange Julius
1 1/4 cups fresh orange juice
1 large egg white or pasturised substitute (3 tbsp)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup sugar
2 cups ice
3/4 cup water
Combine all of the ingredients in a blender and blend on high speed 45-60 seconds, until mixture is very smooth and frothy. Adjust the amount of ice to your desired consistency.
Serves 4.
Pina Colada Julius
1 cup ripe Pineapple, sliced
1/2 cup pinacolada mix
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup caster sugar or superfine sugar
1/2-2/3 teaspoon vanilla
Slice up fresh pineapple until you have enough to fill a one cup measure. Add to blender or food processor. Add rest of ingredients and 1 cup small pieces of ice. I don't use whole ice cubes as it is hard on the blender. I just pound them a bit first :) Blend until smooth.
Mango Julius
1 cup ripe mangos, sliced
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup caster sugar or superfine sugar
1/2-2/3 teaspoon vanilla
Slice up mangos until you have enough to fill a one cup measure. Add to blender or food processor. Add rest of ingredients and 1 cup small pieces of ice. I don't use whole ice cubes as it is hard on the blender. I just pound them a bit first :) Blend until smooth.
Strawberry Julius
1 cup strawberry, sliced
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup caster sugar or superfine sugar
1/2-2/3 teaspoon vanilla
Slice up fresh strawberries until you have enough to fill a one cup measure. Add to blender or food processor. Add rest of ingredients and 1 cup small pieces of ice. I don't use whole ice cubes as it is hard on the blender. I just pound them a bit first :) Blend until smooth.
