Kids are really fond of milkshakes. We understand that most kids dislike plain milk, but a milkshake is a terrific way to get them enthusiastic about drinking milk while also providing them with a healthy dose of calcium.

If you're searching for a nice milkshake recipe for your kids, look no further. We present a recipe for a tasty and wholesome strawberry and banana milkshake. 

Kids won't be able to look away from this milkshake's vivid colors. Strawberries give this delightful milkshake its lovely pink hue. The delightful strawberry and banana milkshake will be ready in 10 minutes with just 4-5 ingredients, including a handful of strawberries, a ripe banana, milk, ice cream, and sweetener.

Ingredients

You will need the following ingredients to make this healthy strawberry banana milkshake recipe.

• Strawberry: Use fresh, ripe, organic strawberries for the best flavor. You can also use frozen ones. You can use extra strawberries if you prefer more strawberry flavor and vice-versa.
• Banana: Use ripened and sweet bananas. I used fresh bananas in this recipe. To make the milkshake creamy and thick, use frozen bananas.
• Milk: I used dairy milk in this recipe. However, you can use unsweetened almond, coconut, oat, soy, or any plant-based milk you like. I use full-fat whole milk in the milkshakes when making them for my kid.
• Ice cream: You can either use vanilla bean, or strawberry flavor ice cream. If you don't have ice cream in hand, substitute it with plain milk.
• Sweetener: adding sweetener is optional. I did not add it as my strawberries were sweet. However, you can add a sweetener of your choice, like maple syrup, honey, agave, or date syrup.

Expert Tips

• Use ripe fruits: If possible, use ripe strawberries and bananas to make the milkshake sweet, and creamy.
• Creamy thick shake: use frozen strawberries and bananas to make the milkshake extra thick, and creamier.
• For a Thinner Shake: Add more milk if you prefer a thinner shake.
• Use a high-speed blender: This will help to make your smoothie silky-smooth. You will not run into any chunks of fruit in the mouth.
• Sweeteners: Adding sweeteners is optional. Add it only if the strawberries are not sweet. If you prefer, add sweeteners like maple syrup, honey, or granulated sugar.
• Drink it immediately: This milkshake is best enjoyed when fresh.

Recipe Variations

• Choose Your Ice Cream: I like to use vanilla ice cream in this recipe, but you can also opt for strawberry flavor ice cream for extra strawberry flavor. You can also skip it if it's not available.
• Vegan Milkshake: To make this strawberry banana milkshake vegan, use vegan milk like almond, or cashew milk and vegan ice creams.
• Nuts: You can also add nuts or nut butter to make the milkshake thick, creamy, and healthy.
• Boost the Protein: add a scoop of protein powder while blending for a post-workout drink.
• Sweetener: is optional. However, you can use any sweetener of your preference, like maple syrup, honey, agave syrup, or refined sugar.

Storage Instructions

Refrigerator: Fresh strawberry and banana fruit milkshakes taste best if they are served right away after preparation. However, you can store any leftover milkshake for up to 24 hours in the fridge in an air-tight container.
