Notes
Storage: Drink immediately for best texture, or store in a sealed jar in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours (shake well before serving). Make-ahead: Freeze pre-portioned strawberries and lime juice in bags for quick blending. Substitutions: Use almond milk or oat milk for a lighter version; swap maple syrup with agave or omit for less sugar. Serving suggestions: Top with coconut flakes, fresh mint, or a lime wedge.
