Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen strawberries (or fresh, chilled)
- 1/2 cup whole milk (or dairy-free alternative like oat or cashew milk)
- 1–2 tablespoons sweetener (granulated sugar, maple syrup, or zero-calorie, to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 1/8 – 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum (optional, for ultimate creaminess)
- Whipped cream (optional, for garnish)
- Fresh strawberry (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- 1. Prep Your Ingredients: Hull fresh strawberries if using. Measure all ingredients and have them ready.
- 2. Load the Blender Correctly: Add milk, vanilla extract, and sweetener to the blender first. Then add strawberries, followed by ice. Sprinkle xanthan gum (if using) over the top.
- 3. Blend Until Smooth and Creamy: Secure the lid and blend on low, gradually increasing to high speed. Blend until completely smooth, thick, and free of ice chunks, scraping down sides as needed (30-60 seconds).
- 4. Taste, Adjust, and Serve: Taste and adjust sweetness or thickness as desired. Pour into a tall glass, garnish with whipped cream and a fresh strawberry if desired, and serve immediately.
