# Expert Suggestions:
01 -
- It takes less time than brewing coffee and rewards you with something that tastes straight out of a diner.
- Frozen or fresh strawberries both work beautifully so you can make this year round without compromise.
02 -
- Warm ingredients will thin the shake instantly so keep your milk and ice cream as cold as possible before blending.
- Frozen strawberries create a remarkably thicker and frostier result if that is the texture you crave.
03 -
- Hull the strawberries the night before and store them in the fridge so everything comes together even faster.
- Freeze extra ripe berries whenever you have them so a great milkshake is always within reach.
