- It comes together faster than you can clean the blender, which is saying something.
- Fresh strawberries make it taste like summer in a way that store bought syrups never will.
02 -
- Frozen strawberries will give you a noticeably thicker shake, so use them if you like that frosty spoonable consistency.
- A splash of pure vanilla extract added at the end lifts the flavor in a way that will make people ask what your secret is.
03 -
- Chill your glasses in the freezer for ten minutes before pouring and you will be rewarded with a shake that stays thick twice as long.
- The real secret is using the ripest strawberries you can find, because no amount of sugar can fake that natural sweetness.
