Making a "healthy" version of strawberry milkshake

       Who doesn't love a good old milk shake. Although sometimes they may be over priced, today I will teach you how to make your own milkshake at home. This is a much healthier alternative than store bought ones since store bought ones may contain preservatives, artificial sweeteners and flavoring.
This milkshake is totally customizable. You can add your favorite fruits or syrups into your milk shake to suit your taste. For example, you can add bananas, blueberries, and raspberries or chocolate syrups. Also you can add your desired amount of sweetness and the amount of liquid to adjust to the consistency you like. Today I will be making a strawberry milkshake.

Ingredients: 6 Fresh strawberries, 1 tablespoon of honey, 1 cup of milk and 1 scoop of strawberry ice cream (For I serving)




This is super easy to make, you put everything in your blender and just blend away. "Blenders come in many different forms, and there are varies models out in the market" (Paul 15). I learned that having any types of blenders will do the same job. But when you consider how often you use a blender and the purpose you use it for, you will know which types suits your own need. For example my blender is for smoothies and beverages only, so it is small and comes with a lid so it can be a to go after you finish blending it.
Also having a pair of fruit knife would be handy for cutting out the stem of the strawberry. "A smaller version of the chef's knife, this is ideal for neat, precise knife work" (Paul 12). This part is not only handy but also safe too. You don't want to use a big knife for a strawberry and accidently cut yourself.
   
I would consider this milk shake to be healthy besides from the ice cream. Using a natural sweetener and fresh fruits is a really important step towards making your life style much healthier than just using frozen fruit and sugar. Lastly I hope you all can try to make your own milkshake using healthy ingredients.

What are your guys' favorite types of milkshakes and do you guys like fruity milkshakes or sweet plain ones such as chocolate and vanilla?

  1. I make a morning shake...it has kale and coconut water and mixed berries and vegan protein powder and mixed greens powder. I also like a morning detox tea with lemon, cayenne pepper, apple cider vinegar, cinnamon, and honey. The ice-cream in your shake sounds so yummy.
