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.
