Wash and hull the strawberries to remove the green tops.
Peel the banana and cut it into chunks for easier blending.
In a blender, add the strawberries, banana, Greek yogurt, milk, vanilla extract, honey or maple syrup, and ice cubes.
Blend the ingredients on high speed until smooth and creamy, around 1-2 minutes. Stop and stir or scrape down the sides if needed for a uniform texture.
Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness by adding more honey or maple syrup, if desired.
Pour the smoothie into two tall glasses.
Optional: Top each glass with whipped cream and garnish with fresh mint leaves for an extra touch of elegance.
Serve immediately while cold and frosty. Enjoy!
