# Expert Tips:
01 -
- It takes literally five minutes from craving to first sip, which is dangerous in the best way.
- The fresh strawberries make it taste nothing like the fast food version, and once you try it you will not go back.
02 -
- Frozen strawberries will give you a much thicker and frostier shake, so if that is the texture you want, freeze your fresh ones for an hour first.
- Serve immediately because this drink separates fast and nothing looks sadder than a layered lukewarm milkshake.
03 -
- If your blender struggles with whole berries, chop them a bit smaller first because nobody wants to chew their milkshake.
- Always pour into the glass immediately after blending because the texture starts changing the moment it sits.
