    What Is Strawberry Almond Milk?

    Strawberry almond milk is a type of non-dairy milk made with almond milk, strawberries, and a sweetener.

    It can be a tasty and nutritious drink, provided it's not loaded with sugar.

    It can be used in smoothies, cereals, in a variety of sweet dishes, or as a drink.

    🥘 Ingredients In This Recipe

    The printable recipe further down the page has the complete list of ingredients, including quantities and step-by-step instructions.

    Ingredients for strawberry almond milk.

    Almond milk - Depending on your diet, you could use sweetened or unsweetened almond milk. 

    Homemade almond milk or store-bought almond milk can be used.

    Sweetener - Use white granulated sugar or a vegan alternative to white granulated sugar like monk sugar or beet sugar. 

    White sugar will help keep the milk color looking clear and fresh. 

    Strawberries - you can use fresh or frozen strawberries.

    🍽 Equipment

    A medium saucepan - with a heavy base to cook the strawberries in to make syrup. 

    A fine-meshed strainer to strain the strawberry solids from the syrup. 

    🍳 Step By Step Instructions

    Here's how to make strawberry almond milk.

    Cooked strawberries in syrup in a saucepan.

    Step 1 - Place the strawberries, sweetener, and ⅓ cup of water into a small saucepan, and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat. 

    Turn down the heat, and simmer for about 10 minutes while stirring frequently. Remove from the heat.

    Step 2 - Pour the strawberry mixture into a strainer and drain it into a small bowl. 

    If you want thin strawberry milk, discard the cooked strawberries or use them as topping on breakfasts like overnight oats. 

    If you want thick strawberry milk, use the back of a metal spoon to push the cooked strawberries through the sieve and mix them into the syrup. 

    Use the spoon to clean the pulp from the outside of the strainer and add it to the bowl. Discard the seeds left inside the strainer.

    Step 3 - Place the almond milk into a large jug and pour in the strawberry syrup until well combined. 

    Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. 

    Serve chilled.

    💭 Recipe Tips

    • When cooking fresh or frozen strawberries, add a little water to the pot to help start the cooking process of breaking down the strawberries.
    • Don't reduce the amount of sweetener in the recipes because if you do you won't get syrup.
    • If you want a smooth lump free drink, you must strain the strawberry pulp from the syrup by passing it through a strainer.
    • Use this strawberry milk to replace plain milk in things like this silken tofu strawberry smoothie or this strawberry shortcake overnight oats recipe.

    👪 Serving Size

    This recipe makes about 600 ml (10.30 ounces) and serves 2.

    🍬 Calories Per Serve

    Each serving of this strawberry almond milk has about 162 calories.

    🥗 Serving Suggestions

    Strawberry almond milk is a refreshing drink you can enjoy warm or cold. 

    • Serve it in a glass to have along side your morning toast.
    • Pour it over your breakfast cereal.
    • Use it instead of plain milk to make overnight oats.
    • Enjoy it as a delicious afternoon drink instead tea or coffee.
    • Use it to make strawberry milkshakes or smoothies.
    • Use it to make popsicles or ice cubes.

    📖 Variations

    Alternative fruit

    For variety, you can replace the strawberries with other fresh or frozen fruits such as raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, or mangos.

    Make it sugar-free

    Replace the sweeteners and use Medjool dates instead.

    🌡️ Storage

    Refrigeration -  Store the strawberry milk covered in the fridge for up to seven days.

    Freezing -  I would not recommend freezing strawberry almond milk because almond milk does not freeze well - it has a grainy texture when defrosted, which can be off-putting when drinking. 

    However, if you have leftover strawberry almond milk, pour it into popsicle molds and enjoy it as a refreshing icy treat in summer. 

    Or freeze them in ice cube trays and add them into the blender when making fruit smoothies.
