Vegan Strawberry Milk (Three Ingredients Only) | The Worktop (2024)

Thisdelightfully refreshing Vegan Strawberry Milk is a healthier alternative to the sugary-sweet versions you can buy from the store. There areno refined sugars or artificial flavors in this recipe. Instead,this Vegan Strawberry Milk only has 3 ingredients - strawberries, coconut palm sugar, and almond milk.

As an 80's baby, I grew up with the whole "milk: it does a body good" campaign, which meant my mom made me drink a glass of milk everyday. And I always rememberedwanting something tastier than plain milk, so it is no surprise that someone clever (probably a parent) invented and marketed chocolate-flavored and strawberry-flavoredmilk. Thank you!

Two decades later, the kid inside me still craves chocolate andstrawberry milk, but (un)fortunately I've moved on from store-bought syrups. I can whip up a chocolate milk at home no problem, but the thought of makinga strawberry milk can be a little daunting - Ican't just melt strawberries or go to my cupboard and pull out animaginary can of strawberry powder.

This Vegan Strawberry Milk only requires three ingredients

Well, it shouldn't be the least bit intimidating. In fact, strawberry syrup is incredibly simple to make, and the strawberry syrup can be used not only in this Vegan Strawberry Milk, but also on pancakes, on oatmeal or even on ice cream.

As with anything homemade, you can control what goes in it. For this Vegan Strawberry Milk, I sweeten it with coconut palm sugar to avoid using refined sugar. When you simmer the strawberry syrup, it will look more brown than red because of the color from the coconut palm sugar, but I promise you your glass of almond milk will turn pink once you strain out the strawberries and mix the syrup in! It is true you'lllose some ofthe natural red coloring by using coconut palm sugar instead of refined sugar, but you'll gain a more nuanced flavor as the richness of the coconut palm sugar mingles with the sweetness of the strawberries.

Use your favorite milk-alternative to make this Vegan Strawberry Milk

Since it is a strawberry syrup, you can adjust the strawberry-ness of your Vegan Strawberry Milk to your preference (I prefer a lighter flavor), and better yet, you can store it in the fridge and let yourself enjoy a couple oflazy mornings. Cheers!
