Instructions
- Add the milk to a high-speed blender first.
- Add the frozen strawberries and pure vanilla extract.
- Add the ice cubes and a pinch of fine sea salt.
- 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 add a few extra ice cubes or frozen strawberries if too thin.
- Pour into a 16-ounce glass and serve immediately.
Tips
- Use whole or 2% milk for a creamier texture or substitute with plant milk for dairy-free. For a thicker smoothie, freeze fresh strawberries before blending.
