This Healthy Strawberry Shortcake Milkshake is thick, rich, creamy, sweet and packed with fresh strawberry flavor… you’d never know it’s totally guilt-free! Secretly gluten free, sugar free, low fat, low calorie and high protein, this milkshake is healthy enough for breakfast but is sweet and decadent enough to be served as a dessert!
Dessert in a smoothie? Why not?
The juicy strawberries add natural sweetness, the oat flour adds that classic “baked good” flavor, the yogurt adds a similar “whipped cream” oomph along with a creamy texture, and the psyllium makes it thick like a shake.
No need for ice cream. No need for syrups. No need for all the added sugar!
Seriously, one sip and you’ll be like, “NO WAY THIS IS HEALTHY!”
*chug, chug, chug*
