Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup frozen unsweetened strawberries
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon strawberry compote
  • 1/3 cup reduced-fat milk
  • 1-1/2 cups creamy vanilla bean ice cream

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Tall glass

Method
 

  1. Before you start, make sure you have everything listed above. A well-organized kitchen saves both time and stress.
  2. In a blender, combine the frozen strawberries and the Greek yogurt. Blend until the strawberries begin to break down and mix. You’ll want it to be fairly smooth, but some small chunks add character.
  3. Now, it's time to add the vanilla extract and strawberry compote. These two ingredients are key players in enhancing the flavor profile. Blend again until completely combined.
  4. With your strawberry mixture ready, pour in the reduced-fat milk. This not only thins out the mixture but also gives it the classic shake texture. Blend, blend, blend!
  5. Finally, toss in the creamy vanilla bean ice cream. This step is crucial for achieving that thick, indulgent shake we all crave. Blend it until it reaches your desired consistency—hold back if you prefer it a bit thicker!
  6. Pour your shake into a tall glass, adding some whipped cream on top if the mood strikes you. Feel free to drizzle extra strawberry sauce for a total showstopper. Enjoy your homemade treat immediately!

Notes

  • Use Fresh Strawberries: If you're up for it, fresh strawberries can add a richer flavor. Just slice and freeze them before blending.
  • Adjust Sweetness: Depending on the sweetness of your strawberries, you might want to tweak the amount of compote added.
  • Don’t Rush: Take your blending in stages. This method ensures a creamy texture without any ice crystals.
  • Chill Your Glass: Before pouring, place your serving glass in the freezer for a few minutes. It enhances the drinking experience.
  • Experiment with Flavors: Don’t be shy! Consider adding a tablespoon of peanut butter or chocolate syrup for a twist.
