Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large Banana
- 8 medium Strawberries
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 4 pieces Ice cubes
Instructions
Peel the banana and cut it into slices for easier blending.
Wash the strawberries thoroughly under cold water. Hull the strawberries by trimming the green tops and any white core, then cut them in half.
In a blender, add the banana slices and strawberry halves.
Add 0.5 cup of Greek yogurt to the blender. This provides creaminess and adds protein to the smoothie.
Pour in 0.5 cup of milk. You can use any type of milk you prefer such as almond, soy, or cow's milk for added creaminess and to adjust the thickness.
Add 1 tablespoon of honey to sweeten the smoothie. Adjust according to your taste preference or skip if the fruit is sweet enough.
Add the ice cubes to the blender for a refreshing chilled effect.
Secure the lid on the blender and blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy. This should take about 1 to 2 minutes. Pause to scrape down the sides if necessary to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated.
Once blended, pour the smoothie into two glasses and serve immediately. Optionally, garnish with a strawberry slice or a banana slice on the rim of the glass for presentation.
