Notes
Strawberry Lemon Mylkshake
If you have a bit of leftover strawberry mylk, use it to make this strawberry lemon mylkshake. Although you don't need it, to make this mylkshake. If you don't have anything leftover, just make this recipe without it.
First take 400 ml of coconut milk and blend this together with one whole lemon, 5 tablespoons (or more) of maple syrup and the leftover strawberry mylk. Blend until smooth, pour into ice cubes trays and freeze.
Put the frozen coconut milk and lemon cubes into the blender and add about 2 cups of fresh strawberries. Blend until smooth (you may have to use the tamper to keep things moving inside the blender or wait a little until it just begins to melt to be able to blend).
Pour into glasses and enjoy!
