Recipe Tips and Tricks
- Regular Blender: Blend a few strawberries at a time instead of adding them all at once, and opt for sliced frozen strawberries instead of whole. Adding more milk can also help.
- Ingredient Order Matters:
Add the milk first, followed by the yogurt and other liquid ingredients. The strawberries go in last. - Taste Before Pouring: Stick a spoon into the blender and give it a taste before pouring it into a glass!
