Peach Julius

A few years ago Emma went to play with her friend Kayla. While Emma was there Michelle made Peach Julius's (Or is it Julius'? Who knows? Who cares? I don't!) for the girls. When I went to pick up Emma she was raving about this thing she had and how I just had to make it. I asked what it was and if I could have the recipe. Michelle told me it was a Peach Julius and jotted down the recipe on a little bitty post-it note. I still have that post-it and I keep it on my fridge so I can make these every year. Each time I see it I think fondly of Michelle, peaches and summer.

Now I have to be honest. I was scared to death to try these because I think the Julius's you find in the malls are WRETCHED, HORRID and VILE. The source of all evil is that toxic power they use. Barf! I gave in however to my little daughters demands and made the julius and actually really really enjoyed it. I also like to think that it really isn't that bad for you either. A little sugar never killed anyone right? Still though, I prefer to call it a shake but learned last night that many of my family members would call that blasphemy since I use milk and ice and no ice cream. (Whispering-I hate vanilla ice cream and swear I can taste it in a shake and it leaves a curdled milk taste on my tongue so this recipe is actually better for me. Jen don't rat me out okay.)

So as long as the peach gods keep leaving peaches in the bountiful harvest booth we will be enjoying a shake/julius before bed.
