Nothing beats Strawberry Milk made from wholesome ingredients, with a fresh, fruity taste. It’s the perfect treat on a hot summer’s day for both kids and adults!
Strawberry milk is officially back in style! It never really left, but what certainly left this recipe is the LONG list of ingredients you’ll find on the back of most grocery store strawberry milks.
This strawberry milk? Three ingredients: sugar, milk, and fresh strawberries!
If you liked this Peach Milk, this Creamsicle Cashew Milk, or this Coconut Milk Smoothie with Strawberries, then you are going to seriously love this recipe! Curl up on the couch, tune into some nostalgic cartoons, and let a cool glass of strawberry milk bring you right back to your childhood.
Is Strawberry Milk healthy?
Strawberry milk can be a nutritious drink, but it depends on the ingredients and how it’s made. If it’s made with real milk and fresh strawberries, like in this recipe, it can be a good source of calcium, protein, and vitamin C.
That said, this strawberry milk recipe isn’t the healthiest because it includes sugar, though you could make it healthier by reducing or eliminating the added sugar. I’ve also tried sweetening my homemade fruit milks with a natural sweetener like honey or maple syrup, and that works great too!
What kind of Milk Should I use?
In this strawberry milk recipe, I used unsweetened almond milk. But you can easily swap this out for your favorite variety of milk! Cashew milk or oat milk would be a great choice for this recipe, as their slightly nutty flavors will pair well with the strawberries. You could also try soy milk or regular cow’s milk, which are both high in protein. Finally, coconut milk may also be a good choice, but bear in mind that it has a strong, distinct flavor that might not complement the sweetness of strawberries well.
How to Make Ahead and Store
Store the blended strawberry milk in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can freeze the strawberry milk in ice cube trays or small containers. Once frozen, transfer the cubes or portions to a freezer-safe bag, and store in the freezer for up to 3 months.
To thaw frozen strawberry milk, transfer the desired amount to a small container and let it thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Before serving, give it a quick stir to make sure it’s the right consistency.
Serving Suggestions
I’m still thinking about that date I’ve got planned between me, my couch, and a glass of strawberry milk. To make the greatest nostalgia-filled treats to enjoy while watching cartoons, I’ve got some suggestions!
I love to make this Naan Pizza cut up into bite-size fingers, alongside some Air Fryer Tater Tots or Fish Fingers! And for something sweet, strawberry milk goes perfectly with a big plate of Oatmeal M&M Cookies or some Brown Butter Oatmeal Cookies.
