Directions
Pour half a cup of milk into an ice cube tray and pop it in the freezer until it’s completely frozen. Once the milk cubes are ready, toss them into a blender along with the rest of the milk, fresh strawberries, a splash of lime juice, and a little vanilla. Blend everything until it’s nice and smooth. Pour into a glass and enjoy right away for the best flavor and chill.
Serving Advice
Serve in a tall glass with a few fresh strawberry slices on top for a pretty finish. A sprig of mint can add a fresh aroma and a pop of color. Enjoy with a straw and a light snack like a handful of nuts or whole-grain crackers.
How To Store Leftovers
This shake is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Stir well before drinking, as separation may occur. Avoid freezing, as it can change the texture and flavor.
