Strawberry Banana Milkshake
This creamy strawberry banana milkshake is the perfect way to indulge in a fruity treat! It's made with only 4 ingredients, and it's ready in just about 5 minutes. Plus this thick milkshake can easily be made vegan! This recipe makes two milkshakes, or about 3 cups total.
Ingredients
- 2 scoops vanilla ice cream (about 1 cup total)
- 2½ cups rinsed strawberries, with the green tops removed (about one pint; fresh or frozen)
- 1 medium peeled banana (fresh or frozen)
- ½ cup milk
Instructions
- Blend everything in a blender or food processor for 2 to 3 minutes. Scrape down the sides a few times with a rubber spatula or spoon to ensure everything is blended smoothly.
- Divide between two glasses and serve. Optional toppings: extra ice cream, fresh strawberries or banana slices, whipped cream, sprinkles, or chocolate sauce.
Notes
- If you use fresh bananas in your milkshake, it will have a consistency closer to a smoothie. For a thicker consistency, use frozen bananas.
- Make sure you use a ripe or overripe banana. An underripe banana that's still green won't add enough sweetness to your milkshake, since there's no added sugar in this recipe.
- If you're using both frozen strawberries and frozen bananas, you may need to add a little extra milk to get everything to blend into a creamy, smooth consistency.
- Make this milkshake dairy free and vegan by using plant based milk and ice cream. I usually use oat milk and coconut milk ice cream.
- You can easily double this recipe to make four glasses.
