    Reasons to Love This Healthy Strawberry Milk

    • Easy to make
    • Good source of calcium, protein and vitamin D
    • Less sugar than store-bought brands
    • Perfect for a quick snack or as part of lunch or dinner
    • Can be made ahead of time
    • Great beginner recipe for kids to help in the kitchen
    • Kid favorite

    Health Benefits of Strawberry Milk: Milk by itself is a good source of protein, calcium, phosphorus, fats for brain development (if choosing a fuller fat version), and can be a good source of vitamin D if it has been added. Add strawberries and you’re getting a good dose of vitamin C, fiber, and antioxidants.

    Ingredients Needed

    • Milk: use whole milk or any plain unsweetened plant-based milk, such as soy, almond, coconut, etc.
    • Frozen Strawberries: frozen strawberries that have been thawed along with their natural juices will provide a more intense strawberry flavor. Fresh strawberries will work, but depending on the ripeness and season, they will have a lighter and fresher taste.
    • Maple Syrup or Honey: for a little sweetness. You can also use agave nectar.
    • Vanilla Extract: use pure vanilla extract for the best flavor.

    Step-by-Step Instructions

    Clear blender on white marble counter with milk inside.
    To a blender, add the milk.

    Then add in the strawberries, maple syrup and vanilla extract.

    Blend for a minute or until the strawberry milk is completely smooth.

    Pour and serve!
    1. Add Ingredients: to a blender, add the milk, strawberries, maple syrup and vanilla extract.
    2. Blend: on medium-high speed, blend for 60-90 seconds or until the strawberry milk is completely smooth.
    3. Enjoy: Pour into a glass and serve!

    How to Store

    Store strawberry milk in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week. Give it a good shake or stir to re-mix any settling that may have occurred before serving.

    What Type of Milk to Use

    The best milk for toddlers 1-2 years old is whole cow’s milk, assuming they do not have an allergy or intolerance. However, you can also use plant-based milk, such as coconut, almond, soy, hemp, or oat milk. Regardless of the plant-based milk, choose one that has no added sugar and has been fortified with calcium and vitamin D.

    Cooking with Kids

    You can easily have your kids help you make this flavored milk.

    Toddlers

    • Toddlers can help measure and pour the ingredients into the blender.
    • They can help put the lid on the blender and push start. Note: make sure to talk about not touching the blender blade while making something in the blender, as it can be sharp. 
    • Have them pour their milk into their cup. 

    Kids

    • You can pretty much let older kids make this recipe by themselves. 
    • They can pick out and measure all of the ingredients. Note: make sure to talk about not touching the blender blade while making something in the blender, as it can be sharp. 
    • Have them pour the strawberry milk into their own cup as well as a second cup for you!

    Expert Tips

    • Do not give cow’s milk as a drink to babies under one year of age.
    • Limit dairy consumption to 16-24 ounces a day for kids 2-24 months and 2-2.5 cups for kids 2-5 years of age. Too much milk consumption can make bellies too full for other foods and displace other nutrients in the diet, including iron.
    • You can use fresh or frozen (and thawed) strawberries, but frozen will give the best flavor.
    • Try adding in a few slices of banana for a yummy strawberry banana milk – like a milkshake but lighter.
    • 2 cups milk
    • 1 cup strawberries, thawed from frozen with juices, or fresh
    • 2-3 tbsp maple syrup, honey (babies over 1) or agave nectar
    • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
    Age: 1+ years
    Milk Notes: you can use whole milk or any plain unsweetened plant-based milk, such as soy, almond, coconut, etc.
    Note on Strawberries: frozen strawberries that have been thawed along with their natural juices will provide a more intense strawberry flavor. Fresh strawberries will work, but depending on the ripeness and season, they will taste lighter and fresher.
