Creamy Strawberry Milkshake

by Jodi Varnado

Is there anything more blissful than a cold and creamy milkshake after spending a warm afternoon in the sun? Milkshakes are one of my favorite summertime indulgences and in my opinion, a most cheerful way to celebrate a summer day. This Creamy Strawberry Milkshake recipe is the perfect treat for everyone in the family, with easy substitutions for those who have any dietary preferences or restrictions. I may or may not be blending some up for July 4th (I definitely will be), and I encourage you to join in on this delicious creation!

Ingredients

• 1 14-ounce can of full-fat coconut milk

• ¾ cup of fresh strawberries (measured after slicing)

• ¼ cup of maple syrup (or other sweetener)

• ½ tsp of vanilla extract

1. Prepare coconut milk ice cubes: Pour 1 can of full-fat coconut milk into a bowl and mix until there is no separation between the coconut cream and water. Then, pour the coconut milk into an ice cube tray and freeze for at least 8 hours. 2. Using a blender, add strawberries, maple syrup, and vanilla extract, and blend the ingredients together until the consistency is smooth and no strawberry slices are visible. 3. After the ingredients are well blended, add 2-4 coconut milk ice cubes into the blender and blend. Then, continue adding ice cubes until you are happy with the creamy consistency (I recommend 10-12 ice cubes). 4. Serve. Throw some fresh strawberries and whipped cream on top, and you’re likely to impress your eagerly awaiting recipient!
