Stawberry Colada Milkshakes

You know that time period between 3pm and 5:30pm? I hate it! The second my daughter gets in the car after school she wants to know what is for after school snack! Not “Hi Mom” or anything…just “what’s for after school snack”. And my answer is usually the same…I have no clue! I was so excited when I threw this Strawberry Colada Milkshake together a couple weeks ago.

I can’t possibly be the only one with this dilemma The kids haven’t eaten for several hours, but it’s too close to supper for a big snack. They want something sweet, but I want them to have something healthy.

Stawberry Colada Milkshakes

These Strawberry Colada Milkshakes are the perfect balance of sweet and healthy, it has lots of fruit plus whole milk and vanilla yogurt. A splash of coconut extract really turned this milkshake into an extra special treat. My goof-ball kids didn’t even realize that it’s not really a strawberry (ice cream) milkshake!

Umm….I probably shouldn’t mention it, but I bet this would be good with a splash of rum. That version would obviously be saved for an after-the-kids-are-in-bed treat.
