Fresh Strawberry Milkshake

We’ve got a bumper crop of strawberries this year in our garden.  More than we’ve ever had before and we’re loving it.  Just about every other day we’ve got a bowl full like this!
So the other day I asked on Facebook for some suggestions on what to make with all my strawberries and you had some great ideas.  I decided to go with a fresh strawberry milkshake.

Here in the NW we have a local burger franchise called Burgerville and every May/June they have fresh strawberry shakes that are amazing.  I wait all year for those delicious shakes like a lot of other Northwesterners.   Well I no longer have to make a trip to Burgerville.  I can make a fresh strawberry shake at home that is just as good (if not better!)  And it doesn’t get much fresher than a milkshake made with strawberries from my own back yard!

The strawberry shake is ice cream, milk, strawberries and I also throw in a couple of Tablespoons of sugar for good measure.

Then just mix it up in the blender and add some whipped cream on top, a strawberry for garnish and a straw.

Then all that is left to do is enjoy!

For other frosty ice cream drinks try:

Old Fashioned Ice Cream Soda

Lime Sherbet Freeze

Vanilla Malt
