Amazing Shake! The only thing I would change is the sugar. My strawberries were very sweet since they are in season here in California. I would not add the sugar if you have very sweet strawberries. Otherwise this was great!

I made this for my hubby because he's always buying strawberry milkshakes. The texture is not super thick like a shake from say McDonald's or In N Out. I took the advice of another review and only used 1/4 cup milk. After blending, I tasted it and thought that it tasted more like a smoothie than a shake. So I added the remaining 1/4 cup milk and that made a BIG difference, tasting more like a shake. Couldn't get fresh strawberries, so I bought frozen strawberries, and they were fine. Because they were somewhat colder than fresh strawberries, that may have changed the texture a little. However, I will definitely be making this again. It was awesome, and my husband reminded me that it was way better than McD's or In N Out simply because it was homemade.
