Chef's tips

Chill your blender jar in the freezer before starting for a thicker, colder shake.

Storage

Best consumed immediately; does not store well.

Reheating

Not applicable.

Common mistakes to avoid

•Blending too long, which warms up the ingredients and makes the shake too thin.
•Using only sweetened huckleberry syrup, which loses the real berry texture.
