Blending banana and strawberry milkshake, and also Sweet Moments!
This has always been our family’s go-to quick milkshake. My mom used to make it for my sister and me whenever she got fresh-picked strawberries from the countryside.
We knew a big batch of this milkshake was on the way. We all loved it because it’s simple, well-balanced, nutritious, and wholesome. Every sip brings back memories of those warm summer days at home.
It’s thick, creamy, and packed with fresh fruit. And the best part? It’s customizable to fit your dietary needs. I make this milkshake whenever I have strawberries and bananas on hand!
Ingredients
Serves 2-3 glasses
- Strawberries (fresh or frozen) - 1 cup
- Banana (peeled, ripe) - 1
- Milk ( dairy or plant-based) - 1 cup
- Honey (or sweetener of choice) - 1-2 tbsp ( optional )
- Ice cubes - Some
Prepare Your Strawberries
Hull the strawberries by removing the green leafy tops using a small knife or a straw.
Wash them 2-3 times with plenty of water to get rid of any dirt or sand.
Shake off excess water or pat dry with a paper towel. You don’t want extra water messing with your milkshake.
How to make Strawberry Banana Milkshake at Home
- Cut the strawberries into halves or quarters for easy blending in the blender. Peel and slice the banana into chunks.
- Add the sliced strawberries and banana to your blender.
- Drizzle in honey, then pour in the milk.
- Blend on high until everything is smooth and creamy.
- Make a taste test and adjust the sweetness. If it’s not sweet enough, add a bit more honey and blend again.
- Add ice cubes to the glass, then pour in the milkshake. Garnish with small strawberry chunks and banana slices on top.
Note: (adjust the honey amount to your taste), use a chilled glass to keep the milkshake cool.
My Favourite Swaps
You can use almond milk, oat milk, soy milk, or coconut milk for a dairy-free version.
Replace honey with maple syrup, agave, dates, or skip it if your banana is super ripe.
Also, we love to try it with mango, avocado, raspberries, or blueberries. Whatever fruits are in season!
You Can Make Ahead
Chop and freeze your strawberries and banana in advance. Store them in a zip-top bag for quick blending.
Make pre-portioned milkshake packs! Pack fruit chunks into freezer-safe bags or containers. Just dump into a blender, add milk and ice when you need!
Making it ahead for guests? Store in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Shake or stir before drinking, some separation is normal.
