# Cooking Tips:

01 -
  • Cooling, creamy, and perfectly sweet without being overwhelming
  • Ready in under ten minutes with ingredients you probably already have
02 -
  • The longer you blend, the thinner it becomes, so stop as soon as everything is incorporated
  • Frozen strawberries eliminate the need for quite as much ice and give you a more intense strawberry flavor
03 -
  • Blend the ice alone for a few seconds first if your blender struggles with frozen fruit
  • Coconut cream makes an incredibly rich dairy free version that actually holds its own
