Yummy Strawberry and Rhubarb Milkshake

Shakes are a summertime staple, but it doesn’t have to be summer to make yummy milkshakes to quench your thirst in a healthy way. This sweet, cold beverage usually made from milk, ice cream, or iced milk is a savoring recipe that is always good for everyone and easy to prepare with ingredients that you’ll find around the kitchen easily.

There is a  huge variety of milkshakes recipes but the classic strawberry mixed with rhubarb will be one very thick and delicious. Strawberry is an essential ingredient in most shakes and this time we are going to mix it with Rhubarb, a perennial vegetable of which we only eat the stalks that have a rich tart flavor. Most people know Rhubarb when used in pie and for many in Florida is mostly unknown to us as it is not grown in the State.

Rhubarb is one of the least calorie vegetables. 100 g fresh petioles provide just 21 calories, but it has vital phyto-nutrients such as dietary fiber, poly-phenolic anti-oxidants, minerals, and vitamins. Its stalks also contain healthy levels of minerals like iron, copper, calcium, potassium, and phosphorus.

West Palm Beach doesn’t have many places serving milkshake. As they are a great way to get kids interested in cooking, let’s gather them around and try this proposal for this week.
