- Can I use frozen strawberries?
- Absolutely! That makes the drink even creamier and colder, like drinking ice cream. You'll need less ice in that case.
- I'm lactose intolerant.
- Make it with almond milk or coconut milk; both pair wonderfully with strawberry.
Classic Strawberry Milkshake
A real strawberry shake gets its flavor from tons of fruit, not syrup. This recipe goes back to basics: highlighting the pure taste of milk and strawberries with a hint of vanilla and honey. Creamy, frothy, pink happiness in a glass that works as breakfast or dessert.

Instructions
1
✓
Wash and hull the strawberries. Cut them in half if large.
Tip: The riper and redder the strawberries, the sweeter the milkshake will be.
2
✓
Put everything in the blender: strawberries, milk, honey, vanilla, ice.
Tip: Always put liquid at the bottom (near the blades) to help catch the solid pieces (vortex effect).
3
✓
Blend on high speed for at least 30-60 seconds.
Tip: It's ready when the color is a uniform pale pink and a thick foam forms on top from the aerated milk.
4
✓
Taste, and if not sweet enough (depending on berry quality), add a bit more honey.
Tip: Taste perception is dulled by cold, so you might need to make it slightly sweeter than you think.
5
✓
Pour into glasses and garnish with a halved strawberry on the rim.
Tip: Consume immediately before the foam collapses.
