# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes like summer in a glass, but clocks in at only 85 calories per serving, so you can genuinely enjoy yourself.
  • No fancy techniques or equipment beyond a blender—five minutes from ingredients to clinking glasses.
  • Fresh strawberries do most of the sweetening work, so even without added sugar it feels luxurious and complete.
02 -
  • Frozen strawberries create a thicker, more sherbet-like texture, while fresh berries give you a thinner, more drinkable slushy—choose based on whether you want to sip it or nearly chew it.
  • The sweetness of strawberries varies wildly depending on the season and source, so always taste before deciding whether to add sweetener; the last thing you want is a overly sugary drink masquerading as healthy.
03 -
  • Squeeze your lime juice fresh right before blending—citrus juice oxidizes quickly, and that bright, sharp bite is half the magic of a great daiquiri.
  • If your strawberries taste a bit bland or underripe, a small squeeze of honey or splash of strawberry liqueur can brighten the whole drink without adding significant calories.
