Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh or partially thawed frozen strawberries, hulled
- 1/2 cup whole milk or preferred dairy/non-dairy alternative
- 2–3 tablespoons granulated sugar, or to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup ice cubes (smaller cubes blend better)
- Optional: 1/8 – 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum (for thickener)
