Strawberry Ice Cream Smoothie


After all the Kale smoothies and chia seed energy drinks sometimes you just want to drink something that tastes just like strawberries, childhood and summer....Without the fibre. After our trip to Saskatoon a farms where we picked, then froze three buckets of ripe, juicy, strawberries, we have been drinking these a lot.

These have minimal ingredients, but each one is critical. Fresh lemon juice is the secret ingredient to getting that magical nostalgic straw-berry milkshake taste. 

One could substitute the milk for a dairy free option. I haven't tested that. 

I bought this bucket of local honey from Water Valley. Honey is magical and delicious.

Our mason jars are essential for cuteness factor. Lids and straws are curtesy of my lovely friends at the Cannery.
