    About Strawberry Banana Milkshake

    Milkshakes are my favorite beverage to make for breakfast or evening snacks and this creamy Strawberry Banana Milkshake is a current favorite.

    Made using 6 simple ingredients, this strawberry and banana milkshake comes together super quickly if the fruits are already prepared and frozen.

    Serve it for a yummy breakfast, after-school snack, or mid-day snack, this refreshing strawberry milkshake is going to be your favorite all summer.

    When strawberries are not in season, you can make this easy strawberry banana milkshake recipe using frozen berries. Do check my post on how to freeze strawberries, freeze them while they are in season, and then use them all year round.

    This delicious homemade milkshake can be made with or without ice cream. It is obviously more indulgent when ice cream is added to the recipe but if you are looking for a healthy option, then skip adding the ice cream.

    You can easily double or triple this recipe.

    Here are some more of my favorite milkshake recipes – Dates Milkshake, Milo Milkshake, Oreo Milkshake, and Custard Milkshake.

    Ingredients

    Strawberry banana milkshake ingredients.

    Strawberries – Use fresh or frozen.

    Choose bright red and ripe strawberries that are fresh and sweet. Make sure they are red or pink in the middle and not white. Bright red ones have the best flavor and are sweet.

    Banana – Use ripe bananas to make the milkshake. You can also use overripe bananas that no one is eating at home to make this shake.

    Strawberry Ice-cream – Ice cream makes the shake super creamy. Use strawberry or vanilla-flavored ice cream to make the strawberry shake.

    Milk – Whole milk (full-fat milk) makes the milkshake creamy and rich. You can use skim milk or low-fat milk for a healthier version. Non-dairy milk (plant based milk) is also great.

    Sugar – Sugar is optional. You can skip adding it if the strawberries are sweet. You can also replace it with honey or maple syrup. Sugar-free substitutes like monk fruit or stevia also work fine.

    Add 3-4 scoops of protein powder or whey protein to the recipe if making it for a pre or post-workout snack.

    How To Make Banana Strawberry Milkshake

    Preparation

    Rinse 1 lb (500 g) of fresh strawberries and pat them dry using a paper towel. Chop off the green leafy top and dice the strawberries into small pieces. Freeze the strawberries for 3-4 hours.

    If you are using already frozen strawberries, then skip this process.

    Peel 2 large bananas, cut them into slices, and freeze for 3-4 hours.

    Freezing the fruits makes the shake very creamy. If you have forgotten to freeze them, then add a few ice cubes while blending.

    Freeze the serving glasses for an hour. It will keep your shake cool for a longer time.

    Making The Strawberry Banana Shake

    Add the

    • 1 lb (500 g) diced and frozen strawberries
    • 2 large peeled, sliced, and frozen bananas
    • 2 cups(7 oz or 200 g) of strawberry ice cream
    • 2 cups whole milk
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

    to the large jar of a high-powered blender or a food processor and blend until smooth.

    Note – If the frozen fruits and ice cream are too hard, just leave them on the kitchen counter for 10 minutes before blending.

    If the shake is thick for your liking, add some more milk to thin it down.

    Check for sugar and add more if required.

    All the ingredients added to a blender.

    Pour the milkshake into chilled glasses and serve immediately.

    You can top the shake with strawberry halves, chocolate shavings, strawberry syrup, chocolate sauce, or whipped cream.

    Ready strawberry banana milkshake.
