Rinse the fresh strawberries thoroughly under cold running water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Hull the strawberries by removing the green stems.
Add the strawberries to a blender, followed by the buttermilk, plain Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla extract, and ice cubes.
Blend the ingredients on high speed for 1-2 minutes, or until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Stop to scrape down the sides of the blender if necessary.
Taste the smoothie and adjust the sweetness by adding more honey, if desired. Blend again briefly to combine.
Pour the smoothie into two serving glasses. Garnish with fresh mint leaves, if using, and serve immediately while cold.
