Homemade Strawberry Milk
When I was a kid I loved Strawberry Nesquik milk. So, when I decided to play around with a malted milk recipe I knew I wanted to go with a strawberry flavor. I was not disappointed, this Strawberry Malted Milk transported me right back to that seven year old little girl with the bad hair cut and a gap tooth smile.
For me, it doesn’t get much better than those carefree mornings that I spent eating Honey Smacks and drinking Strawberry Nesquik while watching Saturday cartoons. That was considered a perfectly healthy breakfast back in the 80’s!
Yes, I am officially an old fogey reminiscing about the good ol’ days.
This is the grown up version of my favorite childhood drink. I use coconut milk, but the type of milk completely depends on your preference. Add some malted milk powder, sugar and fresh strawberry puree for a delicious taste of the good ol’ days. This isn’t just for adults though, the kiddos will love it too!
