Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Fresh strawberries
- 1 large Ripe banana
- 1 cup Milk (or plant-based milk)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Honey (optional, for sweetness)
- 4 pieces Ice cubes
Instructions
Rinse the fresh strawberries under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Hull the strawberries (remove the green tops).
Peel the banana and break it into chunks for easier blending.
In a blender, add the strawberries, banana, milk, vanilla extract, and honey (if using).
Add the ice cubes to the blender to make the shake cold and creamy.
Blend on high speed for 1–2 minutes or until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Stop and scrape down the sides of the blender as needed.
Taste the shake and adjust the sweetness by adding more honey if desired. Blend again briefly if needed.
Pour the shake into two glasses and serve immediately. Optionally, garnish with fresh strawberry slices or a banana wheel on the rim.
