# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It takes exactly five minutes from craving to first sip, which is dangerously convenient.
  • The sweetness of fresh strawberries and vanilla ice cream together is basically summer in liquid form.
02 -
  • Frozen strawberries will give you a thicker, frostier shake, while fresh ones make it lighter and more drinkable.
  • If your blender is struggling with cold ingredients, let the ice cream sit out for about five minutes before blending.
03 -
  • The riper and softer your strawberries, the sweeter and more flavorful your shake will be, so use the ones that look almost too far gone.
  • Freeze your glasses ahead of time because a frosty glass keeps the shake thick and luxurious from first sip to last.
