# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • It takes literally five minutes and tastes like something from a diner counter
  • The Oreo pieces that dont fully blend create these little chocolate pockets that make every sip different
02 -
  • Chilling your glasses in the freezer for ten minutes before pouring makes a shocking difference in how long the shake stays thick
  • Blending too long kills the texture completely and turns it into a thin, overworked drink with no body
03 -
  • Drop one whole Oreo into the bottom of each glass before pouring for a bonus cookie that softens as you drink
  • A tiny pinch of salt makes the strawberry flavor pop in a way that surprised me the first time I tried it
