- Blend Until Smooth: Blend the mixture until smooth, adding more milk as needed to achieve your preferred consistency. You may need to stir the mixture partway through blending because each blender’s power varies.

Notes
- You can use any kind of milk, including regular cow’s milk, fat free, or nondairy options like almond milk.
- Choose your favorite berries or combination; if using fresh berries, freeze them for at least 2 hours before blending for best texture.
- For an extra protein boost, add a scoop of your preferred protein powder into the blender in step 1.
- Adjust the milk quantity based on blender strength and desired thickness.
- Cookie crumbles add a delightful texture contrast as a garnish, but can be omitted for a dairy-free or lower-calorie option.
