May 16 - National Strawberry Milkshake Day


Happy National Strawberry Milkshake Day! On May 16, today observes the classic, rich and creamy treat that combines sweet strawberries with soft serve vanilla ice cream. 

Also, since it's made with frozen fruit, you can make it year-round. 

Strawberries are in season from late April through August. With that said, there's no time like the present to take full advantage of them for a refreshing treat during the warmer weather. 

Many love this flavor of strawberry milkshake because it’s SO EASY to make. You only need FOUR ingredients: 

  • • hulled strawberries 

  • • milk 

  • • vanilla ice cream 

  • • vanilla extract 


Afterwards, all you have to do is combine each of these ingredients together in a blender. If you use less milk and frozen strawberries, you may need a higher-powered blender. 

One of the most commonly asked questions when it comes to milkshakes (in this case, obviously strawberry) is how to make them thicker for a super thick, extra creamy and naturally sweetened flavor. 

While others think that this milkshake makes a pretty thick, creamy shake, there are two ways to increase the thickness. 

Though this milkshake makes a pretty thick, creamy shake, there are two ways to increase the thickness. 

First, you can add less milk. This recipe calls for one cup of milk, but you can add more or less depending on how thick you’d like your shake to be. 

Second, you use frozen strawberries instead of fresh. Some like the way the fresh strawberries taste, but you can use frozen strawberries for an even thicker shake. 

You can even complete the ensemble by placing strawberry halves and whipped cream on top. Upon serving, don’t forget a long straw! 

Without a doubt, this vibrantly pink treat is truly spring in a glass!
