Funnily enough, I never was a huge fan of strawberry milkshakes growing up because I would find the strawberry flavour to be quite artificial and too sweet. That being said, we were given a huge bag of ripe frozen strawberries a few weeks ago that needed to be eaten and so, this delicious, creamy, perfectly-sweet strawberry milkshake was born!! It also happens to be dairy-free and refined sugar free.
Creamy & full of fresh strawberry flavour – minus the excess sugar and artificial flavouring!
Of course this milkshake is not only delicious but also something your body will love! It is…
This recipe has quickly become a staple in my weekly rotation of snacks and desserts and I hope it becomes the same for you.

Recipe: Creamy & Fresh Strawberry Milkshake
Gluten-free, dairy-free
Prep: 5 minutes
Yields 2 large milkshakes
Ingredients:
2.5 cups ripe strawberries, frozen*
200ml canned full-fat coconut milk (1/2 a can)
1/4 cup oat or almond milk**
1 large ripe banana
1 tsp vanilla extract
2-3 tbsp raw honey
Pinch salt
To Make:
Notes:
*Fresh, frozen strawberries are best for optimal flavour but bagged frozen ones will also work well.
**The additional oat or almond milk is optional and this depends on the strength of your blender as yours may need a bit more liquid to get moving along. Add a little at a time as we want to maintain the thick and creamy consistency!
