Instructions:

1. Make the Strawberry Layer:

   • Blend the strawberries, milk, vanilla ice cream, and sugar (if using) in a blender until smooth. Pour into a measuring cup or pitcher and set aside.

   • Rinse the blender, then blend the milk, vanilla ice cream, and vanilla extract until smooth.

3. Assemble the Shakes:

   • In two tall glasses, alternate pouring the strawberry mixture and the vanilla mixture to create layers. For neater layers, pour each layer slowly and use a spoon to prevent splashing.

Tips and Variations:

• For a Thicker Shake: Use more ice cream and less milk for each layer.
• Chocolate Twist: Add a chocolate syrup layer or drizzle it inside the glass before pouring the shakes.
• Other Fruits: Replace the strawberries with raspberries, blueberries, or mangoes for different fruit layers.
