Strawberry Buttermilk Shake

Pin It

I'm really trying to eat better most of the time.  I'm not denying myself anything but am focusing on making better choices more often.  And it's been surprisingly easy.  And effective. I've dropped ten pounds in the last couple of months.

But I love ice cream.  Love it.  Love making it, eating it, going out for it.  I can't have one of my many favorite flavors in the house without feeling the constant pull to the freezer.  So when I came across this recipe for a Strawberry Buttermilk Shake I thought it was worth trying to see if it could be a lower fat alternative method for me to fulfill my ice cream cravings.

And guess what?  It kind of it is.  It's creamy and sweet.  The buttermilk gives a little tang but it works great with the strawberry.  The recipe below makes 2 generous servings or 4 regular servings but I have whipped up one for just me by quartering the recipe.  I've also found that my salad dressing shaker and a spoon make a milkshake without dirtying the blender and I get some bonus cardio from the vigorous shaking!
