Bring on summer and this delicious, easy peasy Vegan Strawberry Milkshake!! I absolutely love a good milkshake, and if this is what childhood dreams are made of, I want all of it for myself! As a kid, my favourite milkshake flavour by far was Strawberry. I like it double thick and extra sweet! However, today I am sharing a dairy-free version that can be whipped up in no time – most probably with ALL the ingredients in your pantry right now.
Shake it up
For me, a good milkshake needs the following essential elements. Ice Cream, Milk, and Syrup. I decided to make a quick frozen banana and coconut cream blend to use as my “ice cream” element in my shake. Once that’s frozen, I blend it with my “milky” element – almond milk. You can use any other plant-based milk if you want. For my “syrup” I used frozen strawberries, water, and a little sugar, cooked it down and blended until smooth.
Strawberry Dreams
I am definitely going to try a few more flavour combinations. I’m taking advantage of all the beautiful fresh strawberries hitting the shelves right now. Strawberries are naturally sodium, fat and cholesterol free – more reasons to enjoy these sweet morsels in a milkshake. And with all those antioxidant properties, I think I’m going to be making this vegan milkshake everyday. Yes!
