Notes

Tips

I often use frozen strawberries as it means the milkshake is nicely chilled when first made
I have made these milkshakes with cows milk, almond milk and rice milk all worked well

Substitutes

Strawberries: In this recipe, you can use fresh or frozen berries, you can also sub for another berry like blueberries or raspberries
Cashews: I use cashews to add creaminess to my healthy milkshakes, an alternative to give a creamy texture is frozen bananas. If you are using cashews or another nut, make sure they are unsalted.
Dates: The dates add a little extra sweetness, you can either leave this out completely or sub for a little maple syrup or honey.
Milk: I use full-fat milk in the milkshakes I make for my kids, but you can use the milk or milk alternative you prefer.
