❓ Q&A Section

Q1: Can I use frozen strawberries?
✅ Yes! Frozen strawberries make the shake extra cold and thick, so reduce ice cubes if using them.

Q2: What milk works best?
✅ Whole milk gives a rich texture, but low‑fat, almond, or oat milk also work for a lighter version.

Q3: How can I make it healthier?
✅ Skip ice cream and use honey instead of sugar. You can also add a tablespoon of chia seeds or oats.

Q4: Can I make it vegan?
✅ Use plant-based milk (almond, soy, oat) and vegan ice cream or skip ice cream entirely.

Q5: How long can I store it?
✅ Best enjoyed fresh! If needed, refrigerate for up to 6 hours and shake well before serving.
