# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It takes exactly five minutes from craving to first sip, which is faster than finding your car keys.
  • The balance of real fruit and ice cream tastes richer and more honest than anything from a shop.
  • You probably already have every single ingredient in your kitchen right now.
02 -
  • Warm or room temperature strawberries will make your shake watery and thin, so chill them beforehand or your texture will suffer.
  • If your blender struggles with frozen or firm fruit, let the strawberries sit in the milk for two minutes to soften before blending.
03 -
  • Freeze your glasses for ten minutes before pouring and the shake stays thick and cold much longer.
  • A pinch of salt blended in with everything else amplifies the strawberry flavor more than extra sugar ever could.
