Here’s a creamy, dreamy, refreshing dairy-free strawberry milkshake recipe for you…just in time for the dog days of summer.
Going dairy and refined sugar free doesn’t mean that you have to skip out on refreshing frozen beverages. Canned coconut milk, fresh fruit and a sprinkle of coconut palm sugar makes as sweet and creamy a beverage as you’d ever want.
I use the technique of ‘draining’ canned coconut milk here. To do so, chill the can of coconut milk in the fridge overnight. Make sure to not shake the can. When you’re ready to use it, carefully turn the can upside down and use a can opener to remove the bottom of the can.
You’ll immediately see a syrupy clear liquid when you get the bottom lid off. Drain the liquid and you’ll be left with white, creamy coconut. That’s the portion that we will use in this recipe.
Alright, let’s get blending…
1 can (13.66oz) coconut milk, full fat
2 Bananas, frozen
3 tablespoons coconut palm sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 cup strawberries, hulled and sliced
Chill the coconut milk overnight. Turn the can over, and open from the bottom side. Drain out and discard the liquid (or use for something else) and scoop out the creamy coconut.
Combine the creamy coconut with the remaining ingredients in a high-speed blender. Blend until smooth. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
