Growing up as a kid, I had my fair share of fast food takeout. Some of them I still miss to this day and try to recreate (a lot of the time in failure, but don’t tell anyone). One of them that I was thinking about lately? McDonald’s Strawberry Milkshake. Their disgustingly sweet syrup mixed into ice cream and served up to me in the nostalgic paper cup. Not the most beautiful thing to remember from my childhood, but it certainly holds something dear in my heart.

Well, I think I’ve done it because this one comes pretty close to the real thing! It’s thick, creamy, and packed full of that strawberry flavor that I’ve come to know and love with milkshakes. Plus, you can have it ready in a shorter time than it’d take you to wait in a drive-thru. On top of that, it’s not 90g of carbs like their recipe is – and it’s got plenty of healthy fats to go around and keep you energized.

I’ve been on a little bit of a milkshake/smoothie stint lately, so if you want to check out the other one’s that I’ve posted you can see them below:
