Description
A refreshing and creamy Strawberry Banana Milkshake made with fresh or frozen fruit, milk, and vanilla ice cream for a delightful treat perfect for any time of day.
Ingredients
Milkshake Ingredients
- ¾ to 1¼ cup milk (regular or vegan)
- ½ cup vanilla ice cream or vanilla frozen yogurt (regular or vegan)
- 1 large banana (fresh or frozen)
- 1½ cups strawberries (fresh or frozen)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: If using fresh fruit, wash and hull the strawberries and peel the banana. If desired, dice the banana and slice the strawberries into smaller pieces for easier blending.
- Combine in Blender: Add the ice cream, strawberries, diced banana, and milk to a blender. Use ¾ cup milk to start, and add more later if needed for consistency.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend the mixture until it reaches a smooth consistency. Depending on your blender's power, you may need to pause and stir or add extra milk to thin the milkshake.
- Adjust Consistency: If the milkshake is too thick, slowly add more milk until you reach your desired texture, whether thick like a smoothie or thinner like a classic milkshake.
- Serve: Pour the milkshake evenly into two glasses. Optionally, top with whipped cream or an extra scoop of ice cream to enhance the treat.
- Enjoy: Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade strawberry banana milkshake!
Notes
- If the milkshake is too thick, gradually add more milk to achieve the desired consistency.
- Using sweetened vegan milk will make the milkshake sweeter compared to unsweetened versions.
- Frozen fruit creates a thicker, smoothie-like texture, while fresh fruit results in a thinner milkshake.
- A high-powered blender is recommended for the smoothest texture.
- You can substitute ice cream with frozen yogurt or Greek yogurt for variation.
- Using strawberry ice cream instead of vanilla will give a more intense strawberry flavor.
- For a healthier milkshake, replace ice cream with yogurt or use only milk and fruit to make it more like a smoothie.
