Ingredient Substitutes:
Strawberries: In this recipe, you can use fresh or frozen berries, you can also sub for another berry like blueberries or raspberries
Cashews: I use cashews to add creaminess to my healthy milkshakes, an alternative to give a creamy texture is frozen bananas. If you are using cashews or another nut, make sure they are unsalted.
Dates: The dates add a little extra sweetness, you can either leave this out completely or sub for a little maple syrup or honey.
Milk: I use full-fat milk in the milkshakes I make for my kids, but you can use the milk or milk alternative you prefer.

Top Tips For Making A Healthy Milkshake:
I’m sharing my healthy strawberry milkshake recipe, but I have a few tips for making healthy milkshakes at home.
Frozen bananas are a great alternative to ice cream they add creaminess and sweetness
Nuts adding a handful of nuts or a generous scoop of nut butter will add creaminess, healthy fats, and protein to your milkshake
Skip the syrups: Use fresh, frozen, or canned fruits to flavour your milkshakes.
Add sweeteners last: Often your milkshakes will be sweet enough without added sugars, so whizz everything up, give it a taste and just sweeten at the end if you need to with honey or maple syrup.
Are milkshakes healthy for kids?
Well to me it really depends on the ingredients and how the milkshake is made to determine if it is healthy or not. A small strawberry shake from a popular fast-food chain contains a whopping 43g of sugar (just shy of 10 teaspoons) and minimal actual fruit content. So perhaps not the healthiest
But you can totally make a delicious and healthy milkshake at home. Today I’m sharing my healthy strawberry milkshake recipe, which has a much less sugar at 14g per serve (3 teaspoons) all of which comes from fruit.
