Notes
For a lighter version, you can substitute the whole milk with a lower-fat alternative, like skim milk or almond milk. If you prefer a thicker texture, add more ice or a bit more vanilla ice cream. You can also adjust the sweetness by adding more or less sugar, depending on your taste preference. Feel free to experiment with other fruit flavors, such as adding a little pineapple or mango, for a tropical twist!
