  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: 1 serving 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, washed and hulled
  • 1 ripe banana, peeled
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 3/4 cup milk of your choice (cow’s milk, almond milk, or oat milk)
  • 1/2 cup ice cubes

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Wash the strawberries carefully, peel the banana, and gather your yogurt, milk, sweetener, and ice cubes.
  2. Blend the Fruit and Yogurt: Place strawberries, banana, Greek yogurt, and your choice of sweetener into a blender for smooth mixing.
  3. Add Milk and Ice: Pour in your milk and add the ice cubes. Adjust the amount of milk to achieve your preferred smoothie thickness.
  4. Blend Until Smooth: Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no chunks.
  5. Taste and Adjust: Taste your smoothie and add more honey or maple syrup if you want it sweeter, or more milk if it is too thick.

Notes

  • Use fresh and ripe strawberries for the best flavor and vibrant color.
  • Freeze berries and banana ahead of time for a colder, thicker smoothie without extra ice.
  • Do not overfill the blender; leave space for liquids to circulate for even blending.
  • Add milk gradually to control the smoothie consistency.
  • Rinse your blender immediately after use to prevent fruit residue buildup.
