A creamy and nutritious strawberry milkshake with a hint of cinnamon, perfect for a quick, healthy treat that appeals to all ages and boosts energy.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine milk, nonfat powdered milk, nutritional yeast, beaten egg, vanilla extract, fresh strawberries, and a dash of cinnamon in a blender.
- Blend until frothy and well combined.
- Pour the mixture into tall glasses.
- Dash with additional cinnamon if desired and serve.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider using whole milk instead of nonfat. If you're vegan, replace the egg with a flaxseed egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 2.5 tablespoons water). Fresh strawberries can be swapped for frozen ones, but you may need to adjust the blending time. Adding a scoop of protein powder can also enhance the nutritional value.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the milkshake in tall glasses, and consider garnishing with additional fresh strawberries or a sprinkle of cinnamon on top. This milkshake pairs beautifully with a slice of Chocolate Walnut Zucchini Bread for a satisfying breakfast or snack. For a fun twist, try adding a dollop of whipped cream.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover milkshake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. To reheat, stir it well and blend briefly to restore the frothiness. However, for the best taste and texture, it's recommended to enjoy the milkshake fresh.
