Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups rhubarb stalks
- 1 cup strawberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1 banana (ripe)
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 cup milk (or plant-based alternative)
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for sweetness)
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup ice cubes
Instructions
Trim and dice the rhubarb stalks into small pieces. Measure out 2 cups.
In a small saucepan, add the diced rhubarb and enough water to just cover the pieces. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the rhubarb is soft and slightly broken down.
Drain the rhubarb and let it cool for a few minutes.
In a blender, combine the cooked rhubarb, strawberries, banana, Greek yogurt, milk, honey (if using), vanilla extract, and ice cubes.
Blend on high until smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides if necessary.
Taste the smoothie and adjust the sweetness as needed by adding more honey, or balance out the flavors with extra milk for a thinner consistency.
Pour the smoothie into two glasses and serve immediately.
