# Expert Tips:
01 -
- It takes five minutes from fridge to glass and tastes like a milkshop indulgence without leaving your kitchen.
- The fresh strawberry flavor is so much brighter than anything from a mix or a drive through window.
02 -
- Frozen strawberries will make a thicker frostier shake but you may need an extra splash of milk to get the blender moving.
- A splash of vanilla extract or a tiny squeeze of lemon juice wakes up the berry flavor in a way that surprises people every single time.
03 -
- Hull the strawberries the night before and keep them in the fridge so prep is just dump and blend when the craving hits.
- The single biggest flavor upgrade is using the ripest slightly bruised berries you can find because those ugly ones pack the most sugar and aroma.
