Ingredients
Strawberries- Fresh and sweet in season, is best. You can also use frozen.
Banana- Ripe and sweet, is best. You might have some in your freezer.
Vanilla Ice Cream - I used my favorite vanilla bean ice cream.
Milk or Water (Optional) - Use to make the milkshake thinner if preferred. Omit if you like thicker milkshakes.
Using Frozen Strawberries and Bananas
Keep a bag of frozen strawberries and bananas in your freezer to easily always have a strawberry banana milk shake. Check the freezer section for mixed bags or freeze fresh strawberries and bananas. Using frozen fruits will make the milkshake extra cold and thick.
Blender for Milkshakes
I like to use my high-speed Vitamix blender for my milkshakes, smoothies, and fruit drinks. If using fresh strawberries and bananas, you can easily use a stick blender or a small blender like a magic bullet. For frozen fruit, I recommend a high-speed blender for it to blend easily and well.
Make-Ahead and Storage
Milkshakes are best if they are served right away, but if you prefer to make them ahead place it in the refrigerator overnight or for up to 2 days. Pour the banana strawberry milkshake into your glass and cover. When ready to serve top with whipped cream and a fresh strawberry.
