# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It takes exactly five minutes from fridge to glass, which is faster than deciding what to watch on television.
  • The sweetness of ripe strawberries mixed with real vanilla ice cream tastes like childhood summers in a cup.
  • You probably already have everything you need sitting in your kitchen right now.
02 -
  • Frozen strawberries will give you a thicker, frostier milkshake, but you may need a splash more milk to get the blender moving.
  • Always chill your glasses in the freezer for at least ten minutes beforehand because a warm glass melts everything faster than you expect.
03 -
  • Freeze your leftover strawberries before they go bad so you always have milkshake ready fruit on hand.
  • Let the ice cream sit on the counter for about five minutes before blending because rock hard ice cream makes the blender work too hard.
