british strawberry milkshake

{our new favorite summer-time treat}
why do i call this a "british" milkshake?
because CJ used to love to complain about
the "milkshakes" he ordered when in Britain...
"it was just milk! no ice cream!"
well, that's what we find ourselves making these days.
really simple. really refreshing.
ingredients:
whole milk (we use Straus)
fresh strawberries
agave nectar (for sweetening)

mix it all up in a blender.

ENJOY!
