Meet my new favorite easyStrawberry Milkshake Recipe! This recipe is verythick and creamy similar to traditionalmilkshakes, except that THISone all vegan and much healthier! It’s perfect for breakfast, snack-time, or dessert, and makes for the perfect healthy and easy vegan Valentine’s Day treat!
What Makes This Strawberry Milkshake Recipe Healthy?
Refined-Sugar Free
Traditional milkshakes are made with ice cream.
Instead, this strawberry milkshake recipe gets its sweetness from the use of freshly frozen strawberries and bananas.Using frozen fruit also gives this vegan milkshake that thick and creamy ice-cream like texture.
Hemp Seeds
Hemp seeds provide a great source of nutrients and contain the following:
- Complete source of protein and contain all the essential amino acids
- Fiber
- Essential fatty acids
- Potassium
- Minerals & Vitamins
I love getting my nutrients from a variety of different sources and therefore try to incorporate hemp seeds in my meals every week. I love sprinkling it on things like salads, breakfast toasts,proteinbowls,pasta, and blending it into smoothies.
A few years back I enjoyed different blender nice-creams with added hemp seeds, so knew that they’d also taste great and add a certain creaminess when blended up into simple drinks, such as this easy strawberry milkshake recipe!

You can easily make this healthy strawberry milkshake recipe with your kids with just 5 simple ingredients:

INSTRUCTIONS
Allow the frozen strawberries and frozen banana to thaw at room temperature for about 5 minutes.
Place all the ingredients in a powerful blender (I used my Vitamix). Use between 3/4 cup to 1 cup of the non-dairy milk depending on how thick you want your milkshake to be (I used 1 cup).
Completely blend all the ingredients. Use a temper to push down the contents of the blender to help the blending process. The resulting milkshake should be thick and creamy.
Pour the strawberry hemp milkshake into 3 or 4 glasses, garnish each glass with a strawberry, and enjoy!
NOTES
I typically wash and freeze fresh strawberries and bananas for this recipe. If you don't have frozen fruit, just add a few ice cubes. It won't be as thick, but still just as delicious!
