🍓Tips:
- Plantbased and Vegan versions: Use almond, soy, or coconut yogurt; opt for nondairy milk like almond, soy, coconut, or oat milk; use ground flax seed instead of nuts; replace honey with agave nectar or date syrup for sweetness; adjust quantities as needed.
- Utilize frozen strawberries or other fruits without diluting the flavor with ice cubes.
- Elevate the taste with vanilla extract or dashes of cinnamon for added depth and complexity.
- Adjust the milk or yogurt to customize the shake thickness.
- Garnishing with strawberry slices or a sprig of fresh mint.
- Chill glasses or jars in the freezer to maintain the shake's temperature.
🍓Cautions:
- In the past, some recipes, like the original Hippie Shake, included a whole egg with its shell. However, it's not recommended today due to the risk of salmonella contamination associated with raw eggs. To minimize health risks, it's advisable to use pasteurized eggs or eliminate the use of the shell in recipes involving raw eggs.
- Introducing new foods to a child's diet using honey may not be suitable, especially if the child is under one year old. Always consult a pediatrician before introducing new foods.
