Instructions:

- Optionally, you can garnish with a fresh strawberry on the rim of the glass or a dollop of whipped cream on top.

Strawberry milkshake FAQ:
You can substitute 2% milk with whole milk, almond milk, or oat milk for a dairy-free option. Each will slightly alter the flavor and creaminess of the shake.
If your milkshake isn't sweet enough, you can add more sugar, honey, or a sweetener of your choice. Blend briefly after adding any additional sweeteners to combine.
It’s best to consume the strawberry milkshake immediately for optimal taste and texture. If you need to store it, keep it in the fridge for up to 1 hour in a sealed container, but the consistency may change.
Since milkshakes don’t have a ‘doneness’ per se, check the consistency. It should be smooth and creamy, not too thick or runny. You can adjust the thickness by adding more milk or ice cream as needed.
Yes, you can use frozen strawberries for a colder, thicker milkshake. If using frozen berries, you may want to slightly reduce the amount of ice cream to achieve your desired consistency.
Tips:
- For a thicker milkshake, use less milk or add more ice cream.
- Use fresh or frozen strawberries to maintain a rich and fruity flavor.
- Blend the ingredients thoroughly to achieve a smooth and creamy texture.
- Taste your milkshake before serving and adjust the sweetness with more sugar if needed.
