Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups strawberries End trimmed and roughly chopped
  • 2 1/2 cups non-dairy milk Choose your favorite type like almond or oat milk
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened dairy-free yogurt Optional; for a thicker texture
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup Plus more to taste for sweetness
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice About 1/2 lemon
  • Pinch kosher salt

Equipment

  • Chef's Knife
  • Blender

Method
 

  1. Begin by preparing your ingredients. Gather strawberries, non-dairy milk, dairy-free yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and kosher salt. Make sure your strawberries are rinsed and trimmed, then roughly chopped to make blending easier. You’ll want to use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor.
  2. Next, take a high-speed blender and add the chopped strawberries. Follow this by pouring in the non-dairy milk. If you're using the optional dairy-free yogurt for a creamier texture, add that in now as well.
  3. Now, it’s time to sweeten the mix! Add maple syrup to your blender. Remember, you can always add more later if you prefer a sweeter drink. This is what gives the Vegan Strawberry Milk its delightful sweetness.
  4. Include vanilla extract to enhance the flavor profile. The vanilla will complement the strawberries and create a beautiful aromatic experience. Next, squeeze in the fresh lemon juice, which balances the sweetness and brightens the flavors.
  5. Finally, add a pinch of kosher salt to elevate the taste. Don’t worry, it won’t make your drink salty; it just enhances all those beautiful flavors.
  6. Secure the lid on your blender firmly and blend the mixture on high for 45 to 60 seconds. You’re looking for a smooth, creamy texture. Stop the blender midway to scrape down the sides with a spatula if needed to ensure everything is well mixed.
  7. Once blended, taste the Vegan Strawberry Milk. This is your chance to adjust the sweetness if necessary. If it needs a little more flavor, add a touch more maple syrup and blend again briefly.
  8. When you’re satisfied with the flavor, pour the milk into glasses. You can enjoy it immediately as a refreshing drink. If you prefer it chilled, refrigerate it for 15 minutes before serving.
  9. Any leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator. Make sure to keep it in an airtight container, where it will last for up to 5 days. Just give it a little shake or stir before drinking, as the ingredients may settle.
