This milkshake is pure childhood summer in a glass — creamy, frosty, and full of sweet strawberry flavor.

I first made it with the kids on a hot afternoon when we needed a treat but didn’t want to go anywhere (or turn on the oven). We used frozen strawberries, a little vanilla, and almond milk — and within minutes we had the most delicious, dreamy pink shake that tasted like something straight from an old-school diner.

Now it’s our go-to for sweet afternoons or dessert nights. It’s easy, made with real ingredients, and customizable depending on what you have.

Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups frozen strawberries

• 1 cup milk of choice (dairy or almond)

• 1–2 scoops vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• Optional: 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey for extra sweetness

• Whipped cream + fresh strawberries for topping (optional)

Instructions

1. Blend it up:
   Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender. Blend until smooth and creamy.

2. Serve:
   Pour into glasses and top with whipped cream and extra strawberries if desired. Enjoy immediately!

Sarah’s Tips

• No ice cream? Swap in frozen banana or Greek yogurt for a lighter version.

• Add chia seeds or collagen powder for a little nutritional boost.

• Make it dairy-free by using almond or oat milk and a non-dairy frozen dessert.
