Vegan Korean Strawberry Milk
This vegan strawberry milk is a dairy free take on the popular Korean strawberry milk drink. It’s easy to make and naturally flavored with fresh strawberries!

Strawberry milk is a popular drink that you can find in a lot of cafes in Korea. The drink is naturally flavored with a fresh strawberry purée and usually topped with more chopped, fresh strawberries. Sometimes you may even see it topped with some whipped cream!
Dairy Free Korean Strawberry Milk
More recently (and unfortunately), I’ve become pretty sensitive to dairy. I like Oatly’s Full Fat Oat Milk as a milk alternative and use it in this vegan Korean strawberry milk recipe. This is a perfect milk substitute because it has a similar creaminess and thickness. I find regular oat milk or other milk alternatives (soy milk, almond milk, etc.) to be a little too thin and watery.
Natural Sweeteners
While most of the flavor and sweetness is from the fresh strawberries, I like to add a bit of coconut sugar to the strawberry syrup. You’ll notice in most of my recipes that I like to use coconut sugar as a sweetener versus the more commonly used cane sugar or brown sugar. I prefer coconut sugar because it is softer in sweetness with hints of caramel. And just to note, it does not taste like coconut! It is also a healthier sugar substitute. It contains a bit of inulin, which decreases the likelihood of post-meal sugar spikes and so may be a healthier option for people with diabetes.
This simple dairy-free drink is fruity, creamy and delicious. You also don’t have to worry about artificial flavors or preservatives since you’re making the fresh strawberry syrup from scratch. If you’re still craving more dessert, check out my Levain Bakery inspired cookie recipe!
Hope you enjoy!
