Benefits and why it is light
How to do it in Thermomix
The key is to use pre-frozen fruit . Place frozen, chopped strawberries in the Thermomix bowl with sweetener and even ice if you want it extra refreshing. Blend for about 30 seconds at medium speed. Add the milk and gradually increase the speed for about 1 to 2 minutes until very creamy.
