# Expert Tips:
01 -
- Five minutes is all it takes from craving to first sip, which is faster than finding your keys and driving anywhere.
- The strawberry flavor is so much brighter when you use real fruit instead of syrups.
02 -
- If your strawberries are not very sweet, that optional sugar suddenly becomes mandatory.
- Adding a handful of ice cubes makes it thicker without diluting the flavor much at all.
03 -
- Chill your glasses in the freezer for ten minutes before pouring so the shake stays cold longer.
- Let the blender run a few extra seconds if you see any flecks of white from the ice cream.
