# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It comes together in under five minutes with zero cooking and basically no cleanup.
  • The fresh strawberries make it taste nothing like the fast food version, and once you try it you will not go back.
02 -
  • A blender that is not powerful enough will leave gritty strawberry seeds throughout the shake, so pulse a few extra times if yours is on the weaker side.
  • Taste a berry before you add sugar because in peak season they can be sweet enough on their own and extra sugar will mask that incredible natural flavor.
03 -
  • Freeze your glasses for ten minutes before pouring so the milkshake stays cold longer on a hot day.
  • Hull the strawberries the night before and keep them in the fridge so you can make this in under two minutes when the craving hits.
