Serve Strawberries and Cream Milkshakes

In the summer (or near summer), I always buy a flat of strawberries at the farmers market. Theyre too pretty and fragrant not to! I recently was working my way through strawberries and realized I havent had a milkshake in far too long. I used to make them every weekend in the summer growing up. Coca-Cola floats were maybe my favorite. Strawberry milkshakes came at a close second.

I wrote this very simple recipe to accommodate non-dairy drinkers, too. For the past few weeks Ive been cutting out dairy to see if it would help my skin and overall health. I can honestly say I feel a little better. Its a sad realization that maybe dairy isnt for me. Ill continue baking with it but am going to lay off on the lattes and cappuccinos and instead replace that milk with almond or coconut.

If youre a dairy-lover, I completely understand. Im not sure anything can compare to the richness of real ice cream. Its what dreams are made of!
