Ingredients
  

  • Strawberries: Fresh or frozen. If fresh, hull them; if frozen, no need to thaw.
  • Banana: Ripe is best for sweetness. Fresh or frozen works.
  • Greek yogurt: Plain or vanilla.
  • Milk: Dairy or non-dairy (almond, oat, soy, coconut).
  • Vanilla extract: Optional, but adds warmth.
  • Sweetener (optional): Honey, maple syrup, or dates if you like it sweeter.
  • Ice (optional): For extra thickness if using fresh fruit.
  • Pinch of salt: Optional, but it brightens flavors.

Method
 

  1. Prep your fruit. Hull the strawberries and peel the banana. For a thicker smoothie, slice and freeze the banana first.
  2. Add ingredients to the blender. Start with 1 cup strawberries, 1 banana, 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, and 3/4 cup milk.
  3. Flavor it up. Add 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract and a tiny pinch of salt. If you like it sweeter, add 1–2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup.
  4. Blend until smooth. Start on low, then increase to high for 30–45 seconds. If it’s too thick, add a splash of milk. If it’s too thin, add a few ice cubes or more frozen fruit.
  5. Taste and adjust. Add more strawberries for tartness, more banana for sweetness, or a little sweetener if needed.
  6. Serve immediately. Pour into a chilled glass and enjoy. For an extra treat, top with sliced strawberries or a sprinkle of granola.
