Strawberry Apple Milkshake

Strawberries always taste so fresh and light, but when you add oatmeal to a smoothie it is immediately a hearty meal. Strawberry Apple Milkshake is a fast vegan Milkshake with rich, creamy texture. It is VERY filling, and perfect for people in a rush in the morning.

Fresh juices, milkshakes , smoothies are  perfect food supplement.  Home made juices and milk shakes can be a great nutritional supplement for almost any diet and keeping body in healthy.

METHOD:

Easy way to cut up strawberries that is also fast:

  1. I used to place Strawberries  in a colander and rinse them with cool water.  Then spread the strawberries in a single layer on a clean kitchen towel or layers of paper towels and pat them dry.
  2. Now start by picking off the green tops from every strawberry. Just try to get most of it off.
  3. Cut the tops off the strawberries with a knife. Don't cut the nice red part, just cut the raw, green or white part off. (To make juice or milkshake or smoothies, it is not necessary to cut the strawberries)
  4. Slice each of them lengthwise to get  2 equal parts.
  5. To easily cut strawberries,  turn each strawberry upside-down onto the freshly cut top. Now, cut right down the middle. Turn the strawberry around and cut down the middle again to make quartered strawberries. Repeat for each berry.

  • In a blender or mixer add sliced strawberries, chopped apples, milk, water, oats, cardamom powder, and honey and blend until creamy and smooth.
  • Pour into glasses and serve. If you want, add ice cubes or chill and serve.

NOTE:

  • You can skip oats and apple to make strawberry milkshake.
  • Sugar or honey  quantity depends on your side and sweetness of strawberries.
  • You can add vanilla or strawberry ice cream as a topping or while blending to make it rich and creamy milkshake.
