Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 banana
  • 2 cups frozen strawberries
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup milk (or water or fruit juice)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract


Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather the banana, frozen strawberries, honey, Greek yogurt, milk (or your choice of water or fruit juice), and vanilla extract.
  2. Blend Smoothie: Add all the ingredients into a powerful blender.
  3. Process Until Creamy: Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy, ensuring all the frozen berries and banana are fully incorporated.
  4. Serve Immediately: Pour the smoothie into glasses and serve right away for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free option, substitute Greek yogurt and milk with plant-based alternatives like coconut yogurt and almond milk.
  • You can adjust the sweetness by increasing or decreasing the honey according to taste.
  • Use fresh strawberries if frozen are unavailable, but add a few ice cubes for a chilled smoothie.
  • To make it vegan, use maple syrup or agave instead of honey.
  • Add a handful of spinach or kale for a green smoothie boost without altering flavor much.
