What is a Strawberry Milkshake?
A strawberry milkshake is a sweet drink that originated in the United States. There are several varieties of milkshake including chocolate, strawberry, and caramel, and some versions can include ice cream as well. This version doesn’t include any ice cream; instead, it relies on a combination of ice and milk to get that cold, thick, and frothy texture. Fresh strawberries then take it over the top by adding sweetness and fresh berry flavor.
Pro Tips
- If you don’t have a food processor, you could blend the mixture in an upright blender or immersion blender instead.
- For the most refreshing taste, make sure all of your ingredients are cold, including the strawberries.
- Choose ripe unblemished strawberries for the best flavor.
- Consider adding garnishes like chopped nuts, chocolate chips, shredded coconut, or sprinkles.
