Make this easy, delicious milkshake when you need something ready in no time. From kids to adults, everyone is going to love this classic strawberry milkshake that is loaded with fresh strawberries (you can use frozen strawberries if fresh ones are not available).

You can make it with evening snack or if you are not in a mood to eat or heavy dinner or cook, this strawberry milkshake comes to the rescue. It is filling yet not heavy. This refreshing drink is amazing for those summer nights when you want something delicious yet least efforts required.

Best thing is, you can use any fruit in place of strawberries to make a milk shake. Let’s make this easy-peasy strawberry milkshake without further ado.

How to choose strawberries to make Milkshake? 

It is easy to choose strawberries for this milkshake. 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.

If strawberries are not in season, use frozen ones like I do. Or take a little secret from me, strawberry jam works like a charm to make this shake too and so does strawberry syrup. They cannot compare the taste of fresh strawberries but in case you do not have access to fresh one, try using the jam or syrup.

Strawberry Milkshake Ingredients

For any dish, it’s important that you choose the right ingredients. If you are making something with fruits, try and use fresh and best quality fruits, if they are seasonally available.

Fresh Strawberry: Now that it is strawberry season, I have used fresh strawberries. While choosing strawberries for milkshakes and smoothies, make sure you choose bright red and ripe strawberries for the best flavor.

Strawberry Ice cream: I have used strawberry ice cream. You can even use vanilla ice cream if strawberry ice cream isn’t available. Also, to make it healthier, you can skip ice cream and use ice cubes instead.

Full fat milk: Full fat milk will make your milkshake creamier and filling. You can choose to use skimmed milk if you want to.

Strawberry Milkshake Recipe

To make this delicious treat, you are going to need fresh strawberries, strawberry ice cream, vanilla extract, sugar and full fat milk. To get the creamier texture, you will need a little prep work, which isn’t going to take much time. 

First, wash and clean strawberries to get rid of any dirt and pat them dry. Once dried, chop the strawberries into small pieces. Now mix it with 2 tbsp of granulated sugar and freeze them for a few hours. 

Also, freeze the serving glasses for a few hours. This will help you keep your milkshake cold for a long time.

Once you are ready to make and serve the milkshake, take the strawberry-sugar mix out of the freezer and transfer to a blender. Add strawberry ice cream and vanilla extract to the strawberry-sugar mix and blend until smooth. 

Now add a cup of milk and blend properly. You can also add more milk or less milk depending on the consistency of the milkshake that you prefer. Once done, pour the milkshake in chilled glasses. Serve immediately.

Strawberry Milkshake without Ice Cream

To make strawberry milkshake without ice cream, skip ice cream and use some ice cubes and freeze the fruit overnight to get a creamier and smoother milkshake. You will need to increase the quantity of the fruit and milk, depending on the consistency you like. You can also add a frozen banana in place of ice cream.

How to make Healthy Strawberry Milkshake?

Want to give a healthier spin to this milkshake? Well, all you are going to need is frozen bananas and you are good to go. You can replace ice cream with frozen bananas, which will make your milkshake healthy, creamy and smooth.

You will get the thick consistency and you can even skip sugar, as bananas will add natural sugar to the milk shake.

How to make Vegan Strawberry Milkshake

You can even make this milkshake vegan by replacing regular milk with almond milk, coconut milk, cashew nut milk, soy milk or Greek yogurt.

Also, you can replace ice cream with vegan ice cream or frozen bananas and you will have your vegan milk shake ready.
