The process of crafting a blended beverage using strawberries as a primary ingredient, while intentionally excluding dairy-based milk, forms the basis for a specific type of fruit-based drink. Such a formulation often substitutes milk with alternatives like water, fruit juice, or plant-based milks (e.g., almond, soy, or oat milk) to achieve a desired consistency and flavor profile. A typical preparation involves combining the strawberries, liquid base, and potentially other ingredients such as sweeteners or ice, then blending them until smooth.
This approach to creating a cold drink caters to individuals with lactose intolerance or dairy allergies, or those who simply prefer to avoid dairy for dietary or ethical reasons. Employing non-dairy liquids as a replacement allows for a wider range of consumption. Historically, the incorporation of alternative liquids in blended fruit drinks has grown alongside the increased availability and popularity of plant-based products and a heightened awareness of dietary restrictions.
