Instructions
- Add the milk and vanilla extract to a high-speed blender first.

- Blend on low for 10 seconds, then increase to high and blend for 35–50 seconds, until completely smooth.
- Check consistency and blend in 1–2 tablespoons additional milk if too thick, or a few extra ice cubes if too thin.
- Pour into a 16-ounce glass and serve immediately.
Tips
- If fresh acerola berries are unavailable, use frozen or a acerola powder supplement; adjust sweetness as acerola can be tart.
