Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 (15-ounce) can coconut milk
  • 1 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 1 1/2 cup strawberries (frozen)
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • Pinch sea salt (for the unique twist)
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds (for the unique twist)

Equipment

  • blender
  • serving glasses

Method
 

Gather and Combine Ingredients
  1. Start by collecting all your ingredients. In your blender, begin by pouring in the full-fat coconut milk. This liquid base helps everything blend smoothly. Next, add your frozen strawberries, followed by the pure maple syrup, and the fragrant pure vanilla extract. The vibrant color of the strawberries already promises a delightful visual and taste experience.
Blend to Perfection with a Pinch of Sea Salt
  1. Secure the lid on your blender and begin to blend. Start on a low speed, then gradually increase to high. Continue to blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, with no icy chunks remaining. A good quality blender will achieve this quickly, but a standard one will work too with a little patience and scraping down the sides.
  2. Once blending, add a tiny pinch of sea salt (just a small dash to enhance flavors, don't overdo it!) to the mixture before it's fully pureed. This subtle addition will brighten the fruit's natural sweetness beautifully.
The Unique Twist & Serve
  1. Once blended to your desired creamy consistency, pour the milkshake into your serving glasses. For an extra-thick shake, you can sometimes add 1⁄4 cup presoaked raw cashews or 2 tablespoons cashew butter to the blender with the other ingredients, creating an even more decadent texture.
  2. Now, for the second part of our unique twist: gently stir in 1 tablespoon of chia seeds into each glass. Let the milkshake sit for 5 minutes. This allows the chia seeds to begin absorbing liquid, thickening the shake further and adding that subtle textural pop we discussed.
  3. Serve your Strawberry Vegan Milkshake immediately for the best, frosty texture. If you’re making it ahead, you can transfer it to an airtight container.

Notes

For an incredibly thick milkshake, consider adding presoaked cashews. The pinch of sea salt uniquely enhances sweetness. Allow 5 minutes after adding chia seeds for optimal texture. Best enjoyed fresh, but can be refrigerated for 2-3 days or frozen up to 1 month. Re-blend if needed.
