Strawberry Shake

April 11, 2012 by 8 Comments

Is there anything better than something (naturally) PINK in a glass? I have had a serious craving for a good strawberry shake lately.  I’ve tried two different shakes, from two different places,  and neither one had a nice, robust strawberry flavor. The first one was a malt and the malt flavor seriously overpowered the strawberry.  The next treat was a shake, but the strawberry flavor was still weak at best.

As I noticed that I had about six pounds of strawberries in the fridge,  I wondered if I could create a decent strawberry shake with some vanilla ice cream, fresh strawberries, and milk.   Turns out, that’s all you need for a delicious strawberry shake.  And if all your ingredients are organic, then you have an all-natural, organic treat.
