- 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
- 1 cup ice cubes

In a blender, combine the strawberries, banana, lemon juice, lemon zest, and Greek yogurt.
Add the honey if you prefer a sweeter smoothie.
Pour in the unsweetened almond milk and add the ice cubes.
Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy. Stop and scrape down the sides of the blender if needed.
