There aren’t a lot of local restaurants that I trust to prepare a safe gluten-free meal. There was one diner, however, that I knew I could order from safely.
I spoke to the owner and I knew that they really understood what it meant to safely prepare a gluten free meal. They knew about cross contamination and did what they could to decrease the chances of it happening.
In addition to great gluten free burgers and fries, I would occasionally treat myself to a Strawberry Milkshake when we ate there. They always used a fresh container of ice cream to ensure there were no crumbs from ice cream cones in there. And these milkshakes were THICK. Sipping on that milkshake took effort.
Sadly, this restaurant just recently closed, and along with it went my strawberry milkshakes. I decided to try to make a kicked-up version of their strawberry shake at home. And let me tell you, these Chocolate Covered Strawberry Cheesecake Milkshakes did not disappoint.
I used vanilla ice cream because finding strawberry ice cream in my town is apparently impossible. Thankfully finding California Strawberries wasn’t hard to do. These juicy red berries are actually in season now, making them readily available in all grocery stores.
If you can find gluten free strawberry ice cream, feel free to use it in addition to the California Strawberries for a boosted strawberry flavor. However, the strawberry flavor is still prominent using vanilla ice cream too.
Did you know that only 8 strawberries is equal to one serving of fruit? One serving has only 50 calories and is not only a great source of fibre, but also has more vitamin C than an orange. You read that right.
Eight California Strawberries has more vitamin C than an orange. This time of year my family needs the extra vitamin C to boost our immune systems.
Getting my kids to eat a serving of strawberries isn’t difficult at all, especially when you can eat them pretty much anywhere. I often cut them up and put them in their lunch kits. California Strawberries also make a great night snack, without giving anyone a sugar high before bed.
