An Explanation Of The Ingredients

• Strawberries – Fresh or frozen strawberries will both work very well for this recipe.
• Strawberry Ice Cream – Creamy strawberry ice cream will give this milkshake an extra boost of flavor.
• Vanilla Ice cream – Balance out all of the strawberry flavor with some vanilla ice cream.
• Milk – I used whole milk for this recipe but you can use any other milk you prefer.

How To Make A Strawberry Milkshake

1. If using fresh strawberries for this recipe, make sure to roughly chop and freeze them for at least 2 hours. Otherwise store bought frozen strawberries will work just fine.
2. In a blender, combine the strawberries, vanilla ice cream, strawberry ice cream and milk.
3. Blend on high speed until completely smooth.
4. Chop fresh strawberries for garnishing if desired and serve with whipped cream.

Can I Skip The Strawberry Ice Cream?

If you don’t have strawberry ice cream, you can certainly skip out on it. I love a delicious strawberry milkshake made with strawberry ice cream and topped with lots of whipped cream. But, of course you can simply make it with vanilla ice cream only. Just substitute the measurements of the strawberry ice cream with vanilla ice cream instead and you’re good to go. You can also play around with this recipe and make a strawberry milkshake according to your preference.

Storing Suggestions

I recommend enjoying your fresh strawberry shake immediately. However, if you do have leftovers, simply store them in an air tight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.

Optional Toppings

• Whipped Cream
• Nesquick Strawberry Syrup
• Chopped Strawberries
• Sprinkles
• Chocolate Syrup
• Chocolate Chips
