Instructions
- Wash the strawberries thoroughly and remove the green tops.

Notes
- Choose ripe bananas for the sweetest flavor and creamiest texture.
- Fresh strawberries provide the best taste, but frozen strawberries can also be used for a thicker milkshake.
- Add a splash of extra milk if you prefer a thinner consistency.
- Chill the serving glasses before filling to keep the milkshake colder for longer.
- Garnish with fresh strawberry slices or banana slices for an attractive presentation.
- Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Stir well before serving, as the milkshake may naturally thicken during storage.
