Instructions

Prepare the ingredients

Hull the strawberries if using fresh. Measure out the milk, honey, vanilla extract, and ice cubes.

Pro tip: Use frozen strawberries for a thicker, more chilled milkshake.

Blend the ingredients

Place the strawberries, milk, honey, vanilla extract, and ice cubes into a blender.

Pro tip: Ensure your blender is capable of crushing ice if using whole ice cubes.

Blend until smooth

Blend on high speed for about 1-2 minutes until the mixture is smooth and frothy.

Pro tip: Stop and scrape down the sides if needed to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated.

Taste and adjust sweetness

Taste the milkshake and add more honey or sugar if desired. Blend again briefly to mix.

Pro tip: Remember that frozen fruits may require less additional sweetener.

Serve immediately

Pour the milkshake into glasses and serve immediately for the best texture and flavour.

Pro tip: Garnish with a fresh strawberry or a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra presentation.

Serving Suggestions

This fruit milkshake is best enjoyed fresh, right after blending, to fully appreciate its frothy and creamy texture. Pair it with a light cookie or a slice of cake for a delightful dessert experience. If you wish to prepare it ahead of time, store the milkshake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Shake well before serving to recombine the ingredients, as they may separate over time.
