The Easiest Strawberry Milkshake Recipe Turns Out to be the Best Strawberry Milkshake Recipe

May 31, 2020 By Joi Sigers

Strawberry Milkshake v

Quick & Easy Strawberry Milkshake

Some of my favorite things in live involve fruit.. so much so that I’ve always said if there ever were a fruit shortage, I’d be in a world of hurt…

I live for:

Strawberry Sundaes

Blueberries in Oatmeal

Blackberries on Pancakes

Strawberry Sundaes

Banana Smoothies

Strawberry Smoothies

.. and, last but not least, the obsession that brings us here today – Strawberry Milkshakes. I have been tinkering over the years with them for several reasons. I love them and couldn’t possibly survive a week without one. Have I ever tried? Heck no… who’d want to tempt that kind of fate?! I don’t order Strawberry milkshakes from restaurants because some milkshakes have gluten in them and I’m afraid of cross-contamination. Soooo, that has left me to my own devices – well the devices of me and my blender (Hamilton Beach Power Elite on Amazon).

I’ve tried milkshakes with vanilla, without vanilla, with added sugar, without added sugar, with all forms of vanilla and/or strawberry ice cream, with frozen strawberries, with fresh strawberries… oh, you name it, I’ve experimented with it. And loved every strawberrylicious sip!

The one I made recently was at the end of a very, very, very busy day (and, given that it’s 2020, it was of course a very emotionally charged and stressful day… 2020’s aesthetic). All I wanted was a basic glassful of strawberry comfort.

I  took 12 large strawberries, washed them and chopped them into chunks. I threw them into my blender and added 2-1/2 cups vanilla ice cream and 2 cups whole milk. The blender did its magic and the result was a knock out milkshake. As you can see, I didn’t even add whipped topping to the top followed by the obligatory “food blogger’s slice of strawberry on top.” Heck, I’m lucky my tired self even remembered to take a picture at all!

Who knows, maybe next time I’ll top it all off with a little whipped cream and position a big beautiful strawberry wedge on top. Maybe I’ll order special “milkshake glasses” by then. We’ll see. If 2020 gets its act together, I’ll do the same!

Butter Pecan Milkshake: A Favorite Ice Cream Makes a Favorite Milkshake

April 9, 2019 By Joi Sigers

Butter Pecan Milkshake

One of my favorite ice cream flavors is Butter Pecan – love it so much, in fact, that I’ve been known to question the sanity and taste of those who don’t like it.More than once.I’ve seen lots of recipes that call for vanilla ice cream and “butter pecan flavoring” – I suppose they’re trying to dodge the bits of pecan that accompany a milkshake made with butter pecan ice cream? If you’re in that camp, feel free to go that route… but, personally, I live for for the bits of pecans.

So good!

The recipe below makes one milkshake (or two small servings).

Gearing Up for Summer: Banana Milkshakes!

April 8, 2019 By Joi Sigers

Banana Milkshake

 

I’ve always been a huge milkshake fan (truth is, I’m obsessed) but adoring bananas and using them at every conceivable opportunity is new. Let’s say it’s grandbaby new. My grandbaby Maddox is 16 months old and has been in love with bananas for a few months now. Literally, one of the first CLEAR words he ever said was his version of “banana” (which sounds so precious I’m grinning like an idiot just imagining it).

I put them in his smoothies and, now that warm weather is here, I’m experimenting with different banana milkshake recipes. The one below is one of my favorites. The extra pinch of cinnamon really does something for it. Another tip: Use good vanilla ice cream. It honestly makes a difference.

I normally top my milkshakes with whipped cream and even a cherry if I’m feeling a little extra… but this particular milkshake would soon be going into a sippy cup, so it’s kind of “naked!”

The “Number of Servings” given here is 2 – but, I guess, really, it depends on the size of servings! In other words, if you’re making milkshakes for more than one person, keep your ingredients handy, you may need more than you bargained for.

Note: I  haven’t tried this milkshake with any types of milk other than whole milk (yet), so I cannot say with certainty how almond, coconut, or soy milks would work. However, I use them frequently in smoothies and they usually bring a little extra something to the party.
