Wash and hull the fresh strawberries. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
Add the strawberries, vanilla yogurt, milk, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and ice cubes into a blender.
Secure the blender lid and blend on high speed for 1-2 minutes, or until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Stop and scrape down the sides of the blender with a spatula if needed. Blend again briefly to ensure all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness by adding a small amount of honey or maple syrup if necessary. Blend for a few more seconds to mix.
Pour the smoothie into two glasses and serve immediately. Optionally, garnish with a fresh strawberry on the rim of each glass for presentation.
