The Rawtarian's Thoughts
Oh ho hum, another smoothie recipe, right? Wrong!
This raw strawberry milk recipe is divine. Trust me. The texture is wonderful. Sirova, the recipe's originator, compares the taste to standard strawberry milk--that thick, syrupy smooth sweetness. Yum! This recipe really does take me back to my childhood.
Warning:
Do not attempt unless you have a Vitamix, a Blendtec, or another high-powered blender! Chia seeds won't blend well in a regular blender.
Also, be sure to use frozen strawberries, not fresh ones. That way this raw strawberry milk recipe will stay nice and cold while you blend.
This recipe is perfect for a Summer evening. And great for kids, they'll love it.
True to Rawtarian fashion, it only has just a few ingredients. When it comes to this raw strawberry milk recipe, simpler really is better.

This was yummy thanks! I made it tonight. The only difference I made to the recipe was using 2 Tb of sweetener instead of 3 since I like things on the less sweet side. A recipe to keep!

Yes, this recipe is very very sweet so probably reducing the honey was a good idea :)

Thanks!!! A very simple recipe. I made a similar shake such as this one, but instead of strawberries, I used banana...YUMMY!!

**sigh** so many of these recipes look good, but either require a high speed blender (don't own) or have nuts (nut-free school).

Yes, it's tough! If you can afford it, you should definitely plan to get a high-speed blender. In the very least, keep your eye out for a used one. They make all the difference in the world! At least put it on your Christmas list :)

I am excited to try this, but wondered if flax would be an adequate substitute to chia (I don't have them, live in a small town, and know they are expensive, even when/if I find them). I may try it one way or the other!

Hi Jenn!
Unfortunately, I do not recommend using flax as a substitute because the flax flavor will overpower the tastes.
i would omit the chia seeds entirely. The recipe will be a lot runnier, but that's okay. You could also maybe add dates instead to thicken it up a bit.
Good luck!
