Description
A vibrant and creamy strawberry smoothie, perfect for a quick, nutritious, and family-friendly breakfast or energy boost. It is made with fresh or frozen berries and yogurt.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh or frozen strawberries (approx. 280g), for natural sweetness and vibrant color
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt (approx. 120g), for creamy texture and a high-protein boost (or regular plain yogurt)
- 0.5 cup milk (approx. 120ml) (dairy or non-dairy), for smooth blending and perfect consistency (almond milk or oat milk are excellent dairy-free options)
- 1–2 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional), adjust to taste
- 0.5 cup ice (optional, approx. 70g), for extra chill and thickness, especially with fresh berries
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add strawberries, Greek yogurt, milk, and sweetener (if using) to your blender.
- Blend Until Smooth: Secure the lid and blend on high for 1-2 minutes until it feels creamy. If it looks lumpy, add a splash more milk and blend longer. For a thicker Strawberry Smoothie, use only frozen berries.
- Adjust Consistency: Add more milk if too thick, or more ice/frozen berries if too thin.
- Serve Immediately: Pour into glasses and enjoy!
Notes
Use peak-season ripe or frozen strawberries for best flavor and thickness. Adjust consistency by adding more milk for a thinner smoothie, or ice/frozen berries for a thicker one. Dairy-free coconut or soy yogurt works well for plant-based diets.
