Notes

Tips:
Using frozen strawberries will give the shake a thicker and colder consistency.
You can customize this shake by adding a handful of spinach or kale for extra nutrients without affecting the taste.
For a protein boost, you can add a scoop of your favorite plant-based protein powder.
Experiment with different plant-based milks to find the flavor and consistency you prefer.
