Instructions

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

Add the ice cubes.
Blend on low for 10 seconds, then increase to high and blend for 35–50 seconds until completely smooth.
Check the consistency and blend in 1–2 tablespoons additional milk if too thick, or a few extra ice cubes or frozen strawberries if too thin.
Pour into a 16-ounce glass and serve immediately.

Tips

Use Greek yogurt or a scoop of protein powder in place of some milk for extra creaminess and protein. For a dairy-free option, substitute milk with almond or oat milk.
