Fruity Fun Milkshake Recipe – Run Eat Repeat


Enjoy this fresh take on the over-the-top ‘freakshake’ trend! I’m sharing a Fun and Fruity Milkshake Recipe inspired by those high priced dessert shakes. Cheers!

This might be the ultimate summer snack – a layered banana and berry milkshake garnished with colorful fruit skewers. It’s easy, delicious and looks like a party in a glass. 

I’m normally all about smoothies after a run. And if you’re the same way, for an option, I urge you to make this very special freakshake inspired recipe with fruit skewers and your favorite toppings. The fun presentation makes it feel like a lil celebration!

You’ve probably heard that it’s important to ‘eat the rainbow’ when it comes to a healthy diet. That’s another way of saying your diet should include a variety of fruits and veggies. So, most of the time I aim for a colorful diet over the course of a day. But this recipe packs in most of the rainbow in one glass! 

And it’s not just pretty – this colorful milkshake is packed with protein from Real California Milk and vitamin rich carbohydrates from fruit and spinach.

Fruity Fun Milkshake – Berry Layer 2

Ingredients:

  • 1.5 cups frozen blueberries, raspberries and/or strawberries
  • 1 cup strawberry Real California yogurt
  • 1 Tb. honey 
  • .5 cup Real California milk (as needed to get desired consistency)

Fruity Fun Milkshake – Topping Layer

Ingredients: [your choice]

  • 1 cup vanilla Real California yogurt 
  • Skewers
  • Berries and/or other fruit
  • Granola
  • Coconut Flakes
  • Chopped nuts
  • Hemp seeds
Recipe Prep:
  1. Make space in your freezer for the milkshake glasses to set after layer 1.
  2. Place vanilla yogurt for the topping layer in the freezer for about 10-15 minutes.
  3. Gather the toppings you want to use.
Directions:
  1. Blend all the ingredients for the 1st layer thoroughly. Pour into glasses and place in freezer for about 5 to 10 minutes. (The 1st layer should solidify a bit so it can hold up the 2nd layer.)
  2. While the 1st layer sets – make the fruit skewers. Carefully stack berries and/or other fruit cut into small pieces onto the skewers and set aside.
  3. Once the 1st layer starts to set – make the 2nd layer. Blend the ingredients for the 2nd layer. [*Add milk to thin your shake or add ice to thicken it.]
  4. Pour over 1st layer.
  5. Stir vanilla yogurt that was in the freezer to remove any clumps or ice. Place a scoop on top of each milkshake (dividing it equally).
  6. Add your favorite toppings and fruit skewers to top it off and serve immediately.

Enjoy!
