Can there be someone who does not love Strawberries??? I am no exception I love strawberries and for that matter any fruit. You can call me fruit-a-holic and it would be just perfect ;-). To the contrary my husband is not someone who loves fruits and it would be the last thing be would eat. So I made this delicious Strawberry milkshake and he just gulped it all without any fuss. Talking about Strawberry the one person who comes to my mind is +Vijayalakshmi Dharmaraj (who blogs at vijisvirunthu) she is an absolute Strawberry crazy girl. So when a group of friends planned to do a virtual treat for her I jumped in with the idea of making a recipe using her favorite fruit and sorry Viji about the delay in sharing your virtual treat. I hope you had a wonderful birthday :-), here's my simple treat for you.
