# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It takes five minutes from fridge to glass and tastes like summer in liquid form.
  • The fresh strawberries make it worlds better than anything from a fast food drive through.
  • You probably already have every single ingredient sitting in your kitchen right now.
02 -
  • Warm strawberries will make your shake watery so always use berries straight from the fridge.
  • Blending too long actually melts the ice cream and thins the shake out, so stick to under a minute.
  • If you want it thicker, add more ice cream rather than ice cubes which dilute the flavor.
03 -
  • Chill your glasses in the freezer for ten minutes before pouring so the shake stays cold longer.
  • Hull the strawberries the night before and keep them in a container in the fridge for instant milkshake readiness any time.
