Ingredients
- 1.5 cups fresh strawberries
- 1 medium banana
- 0.5 cups Greek yogurt
- 0.75 cups milk (or non-dairy milk)
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
- 4 pieces ice cubes
Instructions
Wash and hull the fresh strawberries, removing their green tops.
Peel the banana and break it into small chunks for easier blending.
Add the strawberries, banana, Greek yogurt, milk (or non-dairy milk), and honey (if using) into a high-speed blender.
Add the ice cubes to the blender for a chilled and frothy texture.
Blend on high speed for about 1-2 minutes, or until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Stop and scrape down the sides of the blender as needed.
Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness by adding more honey if desired. Blend again briefly if needed.
Pour the smoothie into glasses, garnish with a sliced strawberry on the rim (optional), and serve immediately.
