Summer is in full swing and we are loving our milkshakes!

Last summer we talked about How to Make a Milkshake, with the perfect ratios, ingredients, and all the tips and tricks you could ever need.

Today, we’re jumping off on that topic again with this Strawberry Milkshake recipe.

If you are loving all the cold drinks (who doesn’t when the sun is shining??), you’ll want to check out this Homemade Lemonade recipe, this fun Strawberry Milk and this Cold Brew coffee recipe, too!

How to make a Strawberry Milkshake:

Making a milkshake is easy and it really is the perfect way to cool down in the summer!

With just a couple tips and tricks, you can have a perfectly thick Strawberry Milkshake in no time.

  1. Be sure to place the ingredients in the blender in the order listed. This ensures your blender will have no problem getting the right consistency!
  2. Be sure to measure the liquid: you know me! I don’t like to break out the measuring cups unless they’re necessary but I’ve made too many watered (milked?) down milkshakes to count and now I always measure to make sure I have just enough.
  3. If your blender is struggling, be sure to stop it and give it a stir. Here you can also check out the consistency and adjust if necessary.

I don’t have strawberries! What can I use?

Fresh or frozen strawberries are obviously the best way to make a strawberry milkshake, but there are other ways you can try if you’re in a pinch and the craving hits!

  • A tablespoon or two of pure strawberry jam
  • Freeze dried strawberries or powder
  • Strawberry sauce, for ice cream or milk
  • Strawberry jello powder (the flavor won’t be as authentic, but it can still be delicious! My tip with this one is to go slow and add just a little)

Strawberry Milkshake ingredients and variations:

  • Vanilla ice cream: vanilla ice cream is our go to and we always have it on hand! You can swap in vanilla frozen yogurt, or strawberry frozen yogurt or ice cream if you have it for extra strawberry flavor.
  • Milk: I use regular, low fat dairy milk because that’s what we have on hand. You can swap in any kind of milk, keeping in mind that non dairy milks will alter the flavor slightly
  • Strawberries: we’ve gone over this one in detail above!
  • Mix it up! Feel free to add banana, chocolate, peanut butter, a variety of berries, or any other flavor you love with strawberries!
