Cherry and Raspberry Milkshake On warm days, a glass of cherries, raspberries, honey, and milk can be quickly prepared without any cooking involved. The fruits are blended together with honey first, and then the milk is added. This way, the flavor of the fruits remains well-defined, and the drink achieves the consistency of a simple and refreshing milkshake. The recipe is suitable for both children and adults. It is served cold, immediately after preparation. If you prefer a more concentrated fruit flavor, you can set aside a glass with only cherries, raspberries, and honey, without milk. This variation has also been tried and is delicious. Quick Info Total Time: approximately 10 minutes, depending on how long it takes to wash and prepare the fruits Preparation Time: approximately 10 minutes Cooking Time: none; the recipe does not require cooking Servings: the exact number is not specified; the quantity is prepared with two glasses of milk and can be divided into two servings Difficulty: easy Recipe Type: cold drink, suitable for warm summer days, for both children and adults Ingredients 200 g cherries 200 g raspberries 1 tablespoon honey 2 glasses of milk The cherries should be washed and stems removed, and the pits should be taken out before going into the blender. The raspberries are washed and then used along with the cherries. The amount of milk is expressed in glasses, just like in the original recipe, without specifying a particular glass size. Preparation Method 1. Wash the cherries and raspberries. Remove the stems from the cherries and pit them. 2. Place the pitted cherries, raspberries, and the tablespoon of honey into the blender. 3. Blend the fruits and honey for 2-3 minutes. The mixture should be well homogenized before adding the milk. 4. Pour the two glasses of milk over the blended fruits. 5. Continue blending for another 1-2 minutes, until the milk is well incorporated into the mixture. 6. Serve the milkshake cold. Preparation is simple, but cleaning the cherries should be done carefully. All pits must be removed before blending. Otherwise, the recipe consists only of blending the fruits with honey and then with milk, without boiling or other steps. If you want to serve the milk-free version, just put the cherries, raspberries, and honey in the blender. This is not the same drink as the milkshake with milk, but it retains the flavor of the fruits and honey. Why I Make This Recipe Often It's a drink that can be prepared in a short time and uses few ingredients. The cherries and raspberries provide the main flavor, while the honey adds sweetness. The milk transforms the fruit mixture into a smoother and creamier milkshake. I also like that the recipe can be made in two ways: with milk for a drink closer to a milkshake, or just with fruits and honey. The milk version is suitable when you want to use all the ingredients, while the fruit and honey mixture is useful if you prefer to have a clearer taste of the fruits. This is not a recipe for long-term storage. It is best consumed cold, immediately after preparation. Tips and Variations Tips Remove the pits from the cherries before putting them in the blender. This is the most important step in preparing the fruits. Follow the order in the recipe: first blend the fruits with the honey, then add the milk. After adding the milk, continue blending for another 1-2 minutes. The indicated blending time is 2-3 minutes for the fruits and honey, followed by another 1-2 minutes after adding the milk. No cooking is required. Serve the drink cold, as indicated in the recipe. For the best results, prepare it just before serving. Substitutions The recipe does not specify substitutions for cherries, raspberries, honey, or milk. To maintain the original flavor and proportions, use the mentioned ingredients and quantities. If you do not want to use milk in that glass, you can keep the version with just fruits and honey, as mentioned in the recipe. This is a separate version from the milkshake with milk, not a recommended substitute for all servings. Variations The clearest variation is to split the preparation into two versions. For the milkshake, blend the fruits and honey, then add the milk. For the fruit-only version, blend the honey directly with the cherries and raspberries, without the two glasses of milk. The quantities of cherries and raspberries are equal, 200 g each. Keeping these quantities maintains the balance between the two fruits. If you change the proportions, the final taste will be closer to the fruit used in larger quantity, but the basic recipe is built on equal amounts. Serving Ideas Pour the milkshake into glasses and serve it cold, immediately after blending. It can be prepared for a hot summer day or as a drink for children and adults. Part of the mixture can be served without milk, just with fruits and honey, according to the mentioned variation. In this case, it is useful to separate the portion before adding the milk, as the milk is added after the first blending stage. Frequently Asked Questions 1. Can I use cherries with pits? No. The pits must be removed before the cherries are put in the blender. The cherries are washed, stems removed, and then the pits are taken out. 2. When is the milk added? The milk is added after the cherries, raspberries, and honey have been blended for 2-3 minutes. After that, blend again for another 1-2 minutes. 3. Can the recipe be made without milk? Yes, the original recipe mentions a version where only fruits and honey remain in a glass. For this version, do not add the milk. 4. Is cooking required? No. The milkshake is prepared only by blending and served cold. 5. How many servings does it make? The exact number of servings is not specified. The recipe contains 2 glasses of milk, along with 400 g of fruits, so the preparation can be divided into two servings, depending on the size of the glasses used. Nutritional Values The values below are estimates. They may vary depending on the type of milk, the capacity of the glasses, and the size of the tablespoon of honey. The estimate assumes two glasses of milk of approximately 250 ml each and regular milk, with about 3.5% fat. For the entire quantity of milkshake: Calories: approximately 650-700 kcal Protein: approximately 18-20 g Carbohydrates: approximately 105-115 g Fats: approximately 20-22 g Fiber: approximately 15-17 g For one serving, if the preparation is divided into two: Calories: approximately 325-350 kcal Protein: approximately 9-10 g Carbohydrates: approximately 52-58 g Fats: approximately 10-11 g Fiber: approximately 7-9 g Most of the carbohydrates come from the fruits and honey, while the milk contributes protein and fat. These values are not exact, as the source does not specify the type of milk or the volume of the glasses. Storage and Reheating The milkshake is served cold and should not be reheated. It is best consumed immediately after preparation when the fruits and milk are freshly blended. If there is a leftover quantity, keep it cold and consume it as soon as possible. Before serving, the mixture may need to be re-homogenized, as the ingredients can separate over time. For taste and consistency, preparing it on the spot remains the recommended option.
