Advent Activity #15 - Make Orange Julius or Dad-a-ccino

Make Dad-a-ccinos (our version of Starbucks Strawberry Frappuccino) - because "Dad" found a recipe and tweaked it - or make Mom's Orange Julius.

Strawberry Dad-a-ccino -

2/3 cup frozen strawberries (plain - NOT in syrup)
5 oz vanilla soymilk (we use regular milk as well)
2 tsp French Vaniola Coffee-mate powder (or the little liquid cup version that we get at Sams)
2 TBSP Strawberry Syrup
1 TBSP powdered sugar
3 large ice cubes

whipped topping

Place all ingredients in blender except for the whipped topping. Blend on high speed. Pour in cup and top with whipped topping.

3 large ice cubes
