Strawberry Guava Shake (Cuban Batido De Guayaba y Fresa)
This strawberry guava shake is smooth, creamy, and filled with the flavors I grew up with. Guava has long been a staple in Cuban cooking, and it shines beautifully in this batido de guayaba y fresa when blended with fresh strawberries and sweetened condensed milk. Making Cuban batidos at home was always a part of my family, and this recipe captures that same sense of comfort and nostalgia. It’s especially satisfying with a warm Cuban sandwich.
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar, or more to taste
- 1 cup guava nectar
- 3/4 cup fresh strawberries, (approx. 8 large strawberries)
- Pinch of salt
- 1/2 cup ice
Instructions
- Add the milk, sweetened condensed milk, sugar, guava nectar, strawberries, salt, and ice to a high-speed blender. Blend on high until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.
- Taste and adjust sweetness as desired. If you prefer a thinner consistency, you can blend with a bit more milk (or water).
- Pour into a glass and serve immediately. Enjoy on its own or with your favorite Cuban sandwich.
Notes
Sub for almond milk or evaporated milk (evaporated milk may alter the flavor slightly)
I used guava nectar for this batido. This is the one I used. Can you use ripe pink guavas? Absolutely! Just scoop out the flesh from 2-3 guavas and add it to the blender.
Frozen strawberries work beautifully in this milkshake and make it extra thick. Just skip the ice and blend the frozen strawberries straight in. If the shake feels too thick, blend with a bit more milk (or water) until it’s just the way you like it.
