Notes

- Use any type of milk you prefer, including plant-based options, to customize texture and flavor.
- Adjust the sweetness by choosing maple syrup, honey, or white sugar according to your taste.
- If using fresh strawberries, add ice cubes to achieve the cold, thick texture similar to frozen berries.
- For a thicker smoothie, reduce the milk slightly or add more yogurt.
