A creamy strawberry orange smoothie with milk and a hint of vanilla

3 ounces frozen orange juice concentrate
1/2 cup milk*
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 banana, optional
1 cup frozen strawberries
6 regular-sized ice cubes (or until desired consistency)

1. Blend together orange juice concentrate, milk, water, sugar, vanilla, and banana (if using) for 1 minute.

2. Add strawberries and blend for a couple minutes, until smooth.

3. Add ice cubes to blender, one at a time, blending after each one until smooth. You don't want chunks of ice in your smoothie! :)

*You can use any type of milk you prefer, including soy milk

This is my favorite "julius" combination! :) I like it best with the banana in mine. It's sweet, but not too sweet. This strawberry-orange julius is a great summer treat! My rating: 10/10
