We’ve created a milkshake that feels like a hug in a glass — the Strawberry Marshmallow Dream. Fresh strawberries bring natural sweetness and a dose of vitamin C, while the creaminess of dairy or plantbased milk makes it velvety smooth. Topped with mini marshmallows, this playful shake is pure joy for kids. It’s a fun way to enjoy fruit with a little treat on top, making it a guaranteed winner with even the fussiest little ones.

Ingredients

200g fresh strawberries, hulled (or frozen, thawed)
300ml chilled milk (dairy or plant-based)
2 scoops vanilla ice cream (or dairy-free alternative)
1–2 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional, depending on sweetness of berries)
Whipped cream, for topping (optional)
A handful of mini marshmallows

Directions

Add the strawberries, milk, ice cream, and honey (if using) into a blender.
Blend on high until smooth and creamy.
Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
Pour into two tall glasses.
Top with whipped cream and scatter over mini marshmallows.
Serve immediately with a straw or spoon.

Key Notes

If your child isn’t a fan of lumps, strain the blended shake before serving for a silky texture.
Swap strawberries for raspberries or mixed berries for a different flavour twist.
To make it extra fun, drizzle strawberry sauce inside the glass before pouring the shake.
For adults, add a few fresh basil leaves to the blender for a refreshing, grown-up twist.

Variation Tips

Swap vanilla ice cream for strawberry or white chocolate ice cream for extra richness.

Blend in fresh raspberries or cherries for a berry twist.

Top with toasted marshmallows for a s’mores-style vibe.

Use plant-based ice cream & marshmallows for a vegan-friendly option.

Add a drizzle of strawberry syrup around the glass for extra fun presentation.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

They burn quickly—melt gently or blend in mini marshmallows.

Leaves chunky bits—blend until smooth.
