HOW TO MAKE CREAMY STRAWBERRY LIMEADE IN A BLENDER
Step 1: Prepare your limes by cutting off all the outer peels then cut the lime fruit into quarters. Toss those into a powerful blender and add 3 cups of cold water. Blend for about 30 seconds or until smooth.
Step 2: Strain the lime juice liquid, removing all the pulp, then add the lime juice back to the blender.
Step 3: Add a whole can of sweet condensed milk, strawberries and 1 cup of ice and blend until combined and smooth.
Step 4: Add ice into your individual glasses. Divide the strawberry limeade evenly and enjoy!
