Vegan Strawberry Milk + Links

Vegan strawberry milk is a fun and simple way to utilize some of these spring berries, perfect for both kids and adults. This healthy version of a childhood favourite is sweetened with vanilla and an optional touch of maple syrup.

I’m in strawberry town right now and making, photographing, and editing like crazy at the moment with all of the lovely local produce that’s popping up – but I wanted to quickly share this recipe with you before getting back to all of that.

This will be a little shorter than usual, but includes some recipe links from my favourite bloggers and blogger friends! Including links might become a regular feature here, but I don’t think I’ll be doing it every week.

Strawberry milk was the only way I would drink milk as a kid. I’ve always had a dairy allergy (but only recently figured out that it was what was causing my lifelong eczema + stomach problems. Ugh) and have never had a glass of milk in my life. Gross.

Strawberry milk was a little different, though, because it’s pretty much a milkshake. I don’t think I could drink the store-bought stuff now as even my rosy childhood memory of it is sickly sweet. These kinds of recipes, ones that are nostalgic of childhood treats, are some of my favourites to make. This is adult strawberry milk. It’s lightly sweet, intensely strawberry, and so good for you.

I made this drink vegan using coconut cashew milk, my new preference. Cashews are pricey and adding coconut makes my homemade milk extra creamy without the extra cost. If anyone is interested, I’ll write a post about it in the future.

Otherwise, any kind of plant-based milk will work well for this recipe, but my recommendation would be almond milk or cashew milk. I also added a little less water than usual to mine to make the strawberry milk extra creamy.
