We are not huge soda drinkers in our house. So, the most frequent complaint from our boys is that they are sick of water. I get it. But I really hate for them {and us!} to drink too many glasses of sweet tea, sports drinks or even too much fruit juice. I know … #worstparentsever. So, over Spring Break, I had the bright idea to give plain ol’ milk and fresh strawberries a little time together in the blender. Most delicious decision ever!
Homemade Strawberry Milk
We have been giving our blender a work out lately, right?! First, Sunshine Slush {for my fellow Orange Julius lovers}, then a once in a while treat of creamy cookie dough iced coffee and now? This frothy concoction that is full of fresh fruit flavor – say that 5 times fast, ha ha! I think it actually tastes a little like a Strawberry Julius – so good!

This homemade strawberry milk tastes SO much better than just adding that strawberry syrup to milk. AND I can pronounce every ingredient in it. AND it has a generous helping of fresh fruit! Plus, it is super cute served in my favorite quilted mason jars
with fun straws. I love the wide smoothie/milkshake straws
for drinks like these. No more fish face as you struggle to get that little bit of fruit or ice to give way through the straw … you’re welcome 😉
I think I may experiment with more versions of this fruity milk. Banana, blueberry and raspberry sound like they would be delicious, too! Have you made something similar?
Cheers! More Delicious Drinks!
