Strawberry season is in full swing these days and there are so many ways to enjoy this beautiful, fragrant fruit. Creamy, flavorful and refreshing strawberry milkshake is the perfect drink for summer and it can be made using just the minimal ingredients .
Milk shakes from fast food joints almost always have fake flavors and pink dyes and they are overly sweet. This home made milkshake is ready in 10 minutes with wholesome and delicious ingredients. Fresh strawberries and ice cream come together to achieve the perfect creaminess and richness. You can serve it with some whipped cream and the kids and grown ups will love it. However it can be customized according to your taste and preferences.
The strawberry milkshake can be made thick or thin according to your preference. It will be slightly thin in consistency if made with milk only but for a richer , thicker shake go for milkshake with ice cream and milk.
Things you will need:
- Fresh Strawberries: Choose strawberries that are fresh, ripe and bright red in color.
- Milk of choice: You can use regular whole milk , unsweetened almond milk or any plant based milk for vegan option.
- Ice cream: Vanilla or strawberry ice cream works well here to get thick creamy consistency. You can go for dairy free ice creams if going for vegan option.( I had some vanilla ice cream with biscuit pieces in it so I used that )
- Whipped cream/ Squirty cream: I used full fat whipped cream. You can go for coconut cream for vegan option or you can skip the cream altogether.
- Sprinkles or Chocolate chips/Sauce: Completely optional but makes it look like from a fancy diner.
