Comment ça y'en a marre des fraises? - Strawberry (soy)milkshake
[How come you're bored of eating strawberries]
Sometimes, you've got to face the truth: you're addicted.
I don't know about you, but the less time a product is available, the more I become obsessed with it.
Strawberries are a good example.
They start pointing their nose out around mid-may and disappear by the end of July. Almost three months, you tell me. Yes sure, but I'll answer:
only three months!
But I should consider myself pretty lucky to have real-ruby-red-home-grown strawberries as soon as the beginning of May.
It's now accurate that I do love strawberries. Indeed I love them in every single way.
As a fruit, they're just perfect:
juicy,
tangy,
tasty and gorgeous looking.
Strawberries are so versatile: the
real food chameleon.
Fresh, I like them
dipped in sugar or in melted chocolate,
cut into cubes and drizzled with balsamic vinegar…
Other great options are countless: from a
mousse to a
soup, from a
compote to a posh
entremet.Two problems remain:
- too little time
- too many ways to use strawberries
So basically what happens is that you end up making a new strawberry thing everyday and everyone -- except you -- gets bored with strawberries.
Strawberry (soy)milkshakeI love the way the soymilk outlines the natural freshness and creaminess of the strawberries.
This drink is very refreshing and makes a great snack for hot summer days.Strawberry 'soy)milkshake
serves 2
500g fresh strawberries (I used Mara des bois, which are very tasty and rather sweet)
400ml soy milk, ice cold
Wash the strawberries and put the in a food mixer. Add the soymilk and blitz for a minute or so.
Put in glasses and top with fresh strawberries.
Drink as soon as it's ready.
