Recipe Tips and Variations

Adding more nutrition — This fruity drink is healthy and super delicious, but you can add a tablespoon of your favorite nut butter to enhance the protein level. Another way for extra nutrition is to add a scoop of your favorite protein powder to the drink.

Skip adding a sweetener — Use perfectly ripened juicy fruits, so you don’t need to add any sweetener to this luscious drink. The natural sweetness of the ripe strawberries is perfect for the recipe.

Only use milk products — This recipe makes the best shake when milk or milk product, such as yogurt, is used as an alternative for the preparation. You may also use water instead of milk but avoid fruit juices as these will alter the drink’s taste.

For an extra punch of fiber — Although the strawberry coconut milk smoothie is a healthy drink, you may still prefer to add flax seeds, chia seeds, or even hemp seeds for an extra punch of fiber.

Easily doubled — A perfect crowd-pleaser, this recipe can be easily doubled or tripled to cater to your preferences.

For that dreamy creamy slurp — If you prefer a creamier and more luxurious Strawberry Coconut Shake, add a scoop of your favorite ice cream and dig into an absolutely indulgent, super-rich, super-cool fruity treat!

Sugar substitutes — You will not need to add sugar or any sweetener if you use ripe strawberries. However, if you need to add a sweetener other than sugar, you can use maple syrup, Medjool dates, or 3 tablespoons of agave syrup for flavoring.

For an icy shake — Frozen fruits make the yummiest frozen coconut milk strawberry shake. You can create an icy cold refreshing drink with the frozen strawberries to perk up a hot summer day.

The ‘‘milky’’ alternatives — Full fat coconut milk creates a thick, creamy shake. However, you may also use plant-based milk such as cashew or almond milk for a creamier, tastier, healthier Strawberry shake. You may also substitute coconut milk with regular milk and cream if you prefer. 

Other creative variations — Strawberries in this recipe make an excellent drink that is purely divine. However, you can experiment with other berries in place of strawberries. You can pick and choose different berries to create a new blend of your choice.

For a rich milkshake — Rich and luscious milkshake is the product of full-fat milk. The low-fat dairy produces skinny milkshakes. The choice is entirely yours!

Prefer a nutty crunch? — A nutty texture within the shake brings extra fun. You can throw in blanched almonds, pistachios, or cashews for a nuttier taste and texture.
