Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries hulled and sliced
  • 1 large fresh or frozen banana sliced
  • 1/2 - 1 cup milk dairy or plant-based, adjust for desired consistency
  • 1/2 cup vanilla ice cream optional, for a richer, thicker milkshake
  • 1-2 tablespoons sweetener e.g., honey, maple syrup, sugar, optional, to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract optional
  • Whipped cream and chocolate sprinkles optional, for garnish

Instructions

  • Prepare your fruit: If using fresh fruit, slice the strawberries and banana. If using frozen fruit, ensure they are in manageable pieces for blending.
  • Combine ingredients: Add the sliced strawberries, sliced banana, milk, and optional vanilla ice cream, sweetener, and vanilla extract to a high-speed blender.
  • Blend until smooth: Secure the lid and blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides with a spatula if necessary.
  • Adjust consistency: If the milkshake is too thick, add more milk, one tablespoon at a time, and blend again. If it's too thin, add a few more frozen strawberries or a scoop of ice cream and blend.
  • Serve immediately: Pour the strawberry banana milkshake into glasses. Garnish with whipped cream and sprinkles if desired.
  • Enjoy: Serve immediately and enjoy your creamy treat!
