Wash and prepare the fresh fruit by peeling, seeding, and chopping it into small pieces as needed.
In a blender, combine the fresh fruit, milk, and ice cubes.
Add the sweetened condensed milk or sugar to taste, adjusting based on the sweetness of the fruit.
Add the vanilla extract if desired for an extra flavor boost.
Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy, about 1–2 minutes.
Taste the batido and adjust the sweetness or consistency. If too thick, add more milk a little at a time. If too thin, add more fruit or ice.
Pour the batido into glasses and serve immediately for best flavor and texture.
