Strawberry Milk Recipe

My kids love flavored milk, strawberry milk, chocolate milk, banana milk, any milk that has a flavor and light sweetness is always a hit with kids. The issue with store-bought strawberry milk, they are full of sugar and not the good one.

So this healthy strawberry milk recipe is naturally:

  • low-sugar – sweetened with refined sugar-free sweetener and mostly strawberries, no white sugar needed!
  • dairy-free
  • vegan kid approved

How To Make Strawberry Milk

All you need to make this delicious homemade strawberry milk in 5 minutes are:

Ingredients

  • Fresh Ripe Strawberries – I like to use ripe strawberries. They have the strongest sweet flavor and make the milk much more vibrant in color without adding food coloring.
  • Whole Milk – any whole milk works, but we used soy milk calcium-fortified to keep our recipe dairy-free. Don’t use low-fat milk or high plant-based milk like almond milk as a base because the strawberry milk will be very thin, not creamy smooth.
  • Unsweetened Almond Milk – the combination of both milk makes the milk lighter but still creamy. You can, of course, swap almond milk for whole milk for thicker strawberry milk.
  • Maple Syrup or coconut nectar or agave syrup – any liquid sweetener you have on hand works, but I recommend unrefined sugar to add nutrients.
  • Vanilla Extract

Chopping Strawberries

First, wash the fresh strawberries under tap cold water. Then, on a chopping board, hilled the strawberries and roughly diced strawberries.

Blending

In a blender, add all the strawberry milk ingredients. Close the lid and blend at high speed until the milk is smooth and creamy.

Don’t over mix it, or it foams a lot on the top, which is actually tasty, but if you prefer the milk without foam, don’t over-blend it.

Serving

This cold milk is slightly foamy just after you blend it. So if you don’t like the foam, you can pour the milk into a glass over a mesh strainer to remove the foamy part.

Kids often don’t love the foam, and this strawberry milk is perfect as a fun and nourishing kid snack.

It’s full of vitamin C from strawberries, protein, calcium from soy milk, and refreshing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use frozen strawberries to make strawberry milk?

Yes, but you need to thaw the strawberries before using them in the recipe. If you use frozen strawberries in this recipe, it results in a smoothie texture. It will be frothy and delicious by far away from a classic flavored milk recipe.

Can I Skip The Sugar?

Absolutely, but it won’t be much sweet. Another option is to sweeten the strawberry milk with sugar-free stevia drops. Add 3-4 drops per batch for natural sweetness without the carbs or calories.

Why Is My Milk Not Pink?

If your strawberries are not ripe or vibrant red, the result of the milk color is light and pale. You can boost the color of your milk by adding some drops of natural pink food coloring or a pinch of beetroot powder.

Can I Use Almond Milk Only?

Yes, you can. But a 100-% strawberry almond milk recipe is very light and not as creamy as if you used a combination of whole soy milk and almond milk.

I don’t like soy milk, what can I use?

There are plenty of whole milk options in stores. You can use regular cow milk if you don’t mind the dairy, or use oat milk, coconut milk – this adds a strong coconut flavor but still make creamy milk.
