- 0.5 cups plain Greek yogurt
- 1 cups milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 4 pieces ice cubes
Instructions
Wash and hull the fresh strawberries. Set them aside.
Peel the banana and break it into a few smaller chunks to blend more easily.
In a blender, combine the strawberries, banana, Greek yogurt, milk, ground flaxseed, and honey or maple syrup.
Add the ice cubes to the blender to chill the smoothie and give it a frosty texture.
Blend on high speed for 30-60 seconds or until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness if desired by adding more honey or maple syrup, blending briefly to mix it in.
Pour the smoothie into two glasses and serve immediately. Optionally, garnish with a sliced strawberry or a sprinkle of extra flaxseed on top.
