Easy Strawberry Milkshake

It’s hot outside and NOTHING cools me down better than one of these fresh Strawberry Milkshakes! It comes together with just THREE simple ingredients with an option to make it a little healthier (only if you want!) too. Everyone is going to LOVE this milkshake.

I went strawberry picking recently and after I used up as MANY of the fresh strawberries as possible making Strawberry compote, strawberry donuts AND strawberry lemonade vodka, I froze what was leftover. Since then, I’ve been making this milkshake on REPEAT and show no signs of stopping any time soon :)

My daughter calls this a smoothie and even though I usually make it with ice cream, I just let her keep saying that. It makes dessert feel a lot more healthy.

Ingredients we’re working with:

I wanted to keep this super simple and minimal. But, obviously still DELICIOUS! To achieve this, we need just THREE simple ingredients:

1. Strawberries. These can be fresh or frozen (or freshly frozen) but frozen berries is going to result in a thicker and creamier milkshake. I pretty much always use frozen. Side note: you can also swap out the strawberries for other fruit/ berries as desired.
2. Liquid. I usually use oat milk but regular milk OR even just water work well. More than anything, it’s there to get your blender going so the milkshake isn’t TOO thick.
3. Ice cream. My preference is a simple vanilla ice cream (usually vegan) but you can use whatever you prefer. Strawberry or even chocolate ice cream will work too! If you want to make a strawberry milkshake without ice cream, I suggest replacing the ice cream with 2 medium FROZEN bananas. It turns into kind of a nice cream situation and while it’s rather banana-y, it’s totally delicious! But repeat: it does have a substantial banana flavor.

How to make a Strawberry Milkshake:

One of the things that I love about this recipe is that it’s SO incredibly simple to make. Simply add all of the ingredients to a blender and blend until creamy and smooth! That’s legit it!

I usually start with just half a cup of liquid and then add more as needed if it’s a little too thick and the blender needs help running. Your blender might take a little more or less depending.

And if you want to make a strawberry banana milkshake, simply swap the ice cream for 2 frozen bananas. I love both versions!
