  • 3/4 cupmilk (any kind)
  • 1 tbsphoney or maple syrup (optional)

  2. Blend on high for 45–60 seconds, until completely smooth. Scrape down once if needed.
  3. Taste. Add honey only if your berries are tart. Blend 5 more seconds and pour.

  • Too thick: add milk a splash at a time. Too thin: add 3–4 more frozen berries.
