Strawberry season has begun, friends! For us, local strawberries signal the beginning of summer and local produce. There’s nothing like biting into a fresh, juicy, still-warm-from-the-bush strawberry.
Unless, of course, you have a mouthwatering vegan strawberry milkshake. That might be better.
I was so pumped to pick up my first flat of strawberries that we celebrated right away by making vegan strawberry milkshakes. And I will tell you, they were AH-mazing. The smell alone was intoxicating, but the taste? Even better. I’m going to go ahead and call it in the best vegan strawberry milkshake ever. I know, that’s bold.
For all you dairy lovers, don’t fret. It’s just as delicious as a traditional milkshake, if not tastier. After blending up a few simple ingredients for the milkshake, I topped them with Gay Lea Real Coconut Whipped Cream. I do enjoy making my own whipped cream from coconut milk, but Gay Lea real coconut whipped cream is so delicious and just so easy. It’s made with real coconut cream, so it’s dairy-free, lactose-free and gluten-free, and it makes the best topping for sweets. We especially love it on our raw chocolate monkey pie, milkshakes, and hot chocolate.
Okay, back to the best vegan strawberry milkshake ever. Do yourself a favour and make this. It’s best with sweet, local berries, of course, but any will do.
