Make it like a pro.
- 01
Add milk, vanilla, strawberries, and ice cream to the blender in that order.
- 02
Blend on low until the berries break down, then on high for 20 to 30 seconds, stopping as soon as smooth.
- 03
Divide between two chilled glasses and add optional whipped cream just before serving.
Easy swaps
- Use frozen strawberries for a frostier shake, letting the ice cream soften for two minutes first.
- Choose dairy-free vanilla ice cream and unsweetened oat milk for a plant-based version.
- Replace one cup ice cream with frozen banana for a lighter shake with less added sugar.
Mixpert tips
- The optional whipped cream is not included in the macro estimate.
- Do not overblend; melted ice cream makes a milkshake thin.
Classic Strawberry Milkshake questions
How do I make a strawberry milkshake thicker?+
Use very cold ice cream, begin with less milk, and blend only until smooth. Frozen strawberries also add thickness.
Can I use frozen strawberries in a milkshake?+
Yes. Frozen strawberries create a colder, thicker shake and work especially well when fresh berries are out of season.
