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
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Wash the strawberries carefully, peel the banana, and gather your yogurt, milk, sweetener, and ice cubes.
- Blend the Fruit and Yogurt: Place strawberries, banana, Greek yogurt, and your choice of sweetener into a blender for smooth mixing.
- Add Milk and Ice: Pour in your milk and add the ice cubes. Adjust the amount of milk to achieve your preferred smoothie thickness.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no chunks.
- 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.
