Five minutes is all it takes, which means you can satisfy a milkshake craving faster than driving to any drive through window.
Fresh strawberries transform an ordinary vanilla shake into something that tastes genuinely like summer in a glass.

02 -

Frozen strawberries will give you a noticeably thicker and frostier shake, which is actually wonderful on blazing hot days when you want something closer to a soft serve consistency.
A splash of pure vanilla extract or a tiny squeeze of lemon juice brightens the strawberry flavor in a way that catches people off guard in the best way.

03 -

Let your ice cream soften on the counter for about five minutes before blending so the motor does not struggle and you get a smoother result.
If you want an ultra thick shake, freeze the hulled strawberries for an hour beforehand and reduce the milk by a quarter cup.
