Equipment
- High-powered blender
- Nut milk bag or cheesecloth / fine mesh strainer
- Sealed glass jar clean and dry
Ingredients
- 1 cup strawberries fresh or frozen
- ½ cup rolled oats
- 2 cups water cold
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup use more if needed
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract optional
Instructions
- In a high-speed blender add fresh strawberries, rolled oats, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and water.
- Blend on high for about 30 seconds to 1 minute or until the mixture becomes pink and creamy. Taste and adjust the sweetness if needed.
- Strain the milk by pouring it over a nut milk bag, clean cheesecloth, or fine mesh strainer over a large bowl or pitcher. Squeeze out the remaining liquid with your hands.
- Transfer to a sealed container and refrigerate. It will keep in the fridge for up to 2 days. If you want to drink your strawberry milk immediately, I recommend adding ice but the flavor is best when chilled for a few hours or overnight.
Notes
- Instead of rolled oats, you can use quick oats. Don't use steel-cut oats for this recipe.
- You can replace maple syrup with agave nectar, date syrup, or your favorite liquid sweetened of choice. I don't recommend replacing maple syrup with granulated sugar since it will not dissolve properly in the mixture.
- As mentioned above, don't over-blend the mixture. If you have a powerful blender, 30 seconds is enough to get a silky smooth and creamy, not slimy milk consistency.
- Always use sweet, ripe strawberries to ensure your milk is fragrant and naturally sweetened with the need to add only a small quantity of maple syrup.
