1 cup (medium) of Strawberry milkshake (250 g) has 225 calories. That works out to 90 calories per 100 g. It contains 38.8 g of carbs, 6.3 g of protein, 5.5 g of fat and 1.8 g of fiber. Its 0.3 mg of B2 covers 25% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 55 (medium), so it raises blood sugar at a moderate pace.
A strawberry milkshake blends strawberries with milk and, in many classic versions, ice cream into a cold, creamy drink. It is closely associated with American diner and soda-fountain menus, though it is now enjoyed in cafés and homes around the world. Whipped cream is an optional topping; without ice cream, the shake is thinner and less rich.
Its sweet, milky flavour is balanced by the berries’ gentle tartness, while small strawberry flecks can add a little texture. It works as a treat on its own or alongside a burger, sandwich or dessert. At about 90 calories per 100 g, it is a sweet drink rather than a particularly filling snack. For a lighter version, blend fresh strawberries with chilled milk and use less ice cream, or leave it out.

Low
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.

Blend strawberries with milk and ice cream until smooth, then serve straight away. For a stronger berry flavor, use ripe strawberries; add the milk gradually so you can control how thick the shake becomes.
Yes, frozen strawberries work well in a strawberry milkshake and make it cold and thick without relying on as much ice. Add the milk a little at a time so the blender can process the fruit evenly.
Yes, strawberry jam can flavor a strawberry milkshake when fresh berries are unavailable. Jam is already sweetened, so blend a small spoonful with the milk first, taste it, and add more only if needed.
A strawberry milkshake can turn watery when the fruit releases juice or the ice cream melts before serving. Blend it only until smooth, use chilled ingredients, and serve it promptly rather than leaving it at room temperature.
A pale-pink strawberry milkshake is normal because milk dilutes the berries’ natural color. Very ripe, deeply colored strawberries can make the shade stronger, but fresh fruit does not always produce the vivid pink seen in commercial shakes.
Yes, you can make a strawberry milkshake without a blender if the strawberries are very soft. Mash them thoroughly with a fork, then whisk them into softened ice cream and milk; the texture will be less smooth.
A strawberry milkshake is best enjoyed immediately because it separates and loses its thick texture as it sits. If you have leftovers, cover and refrigerate them, use them the same day, and stir or reblend before drinking.
Yes, you can freeze a strawberry milkshake, but it may become icy or separate after thawing. Let it soften briefly and blend it again to improve the texture; do not refreeze it after it has thawed.
A strawberry milkshake can provide fruit and milk, but versions made with ice cream or added sugar are also sweet treats. For a lighter everyday option, blend strawberries with milk and skip extra sweeteners.
No, a basic strawberry milkshake contains no caffeine because its usual ingredients are strawberries, milk, and often ice cream. A café version could contain caffeine if coffee, chocolate, or a caffeinated syrup is added.
