Add strawberries and vanilla to blender and blend about 30 seconds

Add sugar and almond milk and blend another 30 seconds

With the blender running add ice at about 2-4 pieces at a time. The blender I have has a small part in the lid that opens to allow adding things safely. Most blenders have this, please use it. It's safer and cleaner :-)

Keep blending until it's smooth. Add more ice or almond milk if you need.

Also, alternative sweeteners may be used. If you choose honey, blend completely before adding ice as the honey will harden.
