Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries
- 1 ripe banana (fresh or frozen)
- 1/2 cup plain or vanilla yogurt (or dairy-free alternative)
- 1/2 cup milk (dairy or plant-based like almond, soy, oat)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 1/2 cup ice cubes (optional, for extra chill)
Instructions
Step 1: Prep Your Ingredients
Wash the strawberries thoroughly, hull them, and slice them in halves. Peel the banana and cut it into chunks. If using fresh fruit, consider adding ice for a frosty texture.
Step 2: Add the Fruits to Blender
Place the sliced strawberries and banana pieces into the blender. These will be your base ingredients.
Step 3: Add Dairy or Dairy-Free Options
Pour in the yogurt and milk of your choice. These add creaminess and help blend the fruits into a smooth consistency.
Step 4: Sweeten and Chill
Add honey or maple syrup if you’d like a sweeter taste. Toss in the ice cubes if you’re using fresh fruit and want a cold smoothie.
Step 5: Blend Until Smooth
Blend on high speed for about 30-60 seconds or until the texture is silky and smooth. Stop to scrape down the sides if needed.
Step 6: Pour and Enjoy!
Pour the smoothie into glasses. Add a straw, fresh strawberry garnish, or banana slice on the rim if desired. Sip and enjoy!
