Ingredients:
• 1 cup of fresh or frozen strawberries
• 1 ripe banana
• 1/2 cup plain yogurt or Greek yogurt
• 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
• 1-2 tablespoons honey or another sweetener (optional)
• Ice cubes (if desired)
• Blender
• Tall glass
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Ingredients: Wash the strawberries thoroughly and remove the stems. Peel the ripe banana and break it into a few pieces for easier blending.
2. Add Ingredients to the Blender: Place the strawberries, banana chunks, yogurt, and milk into the blender. If you’re using honey or any sweetener, add it to the mix.
3. Blend the Ingredients: Secure the lid on the blender and start by pulsing the ingredients to break them down. Gradually increase the blending speed until you achieve a smooth, creamy consistency.
4. Taste and Adjust: After blending, taste the mixture. If you prefer a sweeter taste, add more honey or sweetener and blend again.
5. Add Ice (optional): If you want a colder or thicker consistency, you can add a handful of ice cubes to the blender and blend until smooth.
6. Pour and Serve: Once you’ve reached your desired consistency, pour the smoothie into a tall glass.
7. Garnish (optional): For a decorative touch, you can add a strawberry slice or banana piece on the rim of the glass.
8. Enjoy: Sip and relish your delicious homemade strawberry and banana smoothie!
Tips:
• Adjust the thickness by adding more or less milk or yogurt to suit your preference.
• If you’re using frozen fruit, you may need to blend a bit longer or add a bit more liquid to get the right consistency.
That’s it! A simple and refreshing strawberry and banana smoothie ready to enjoy.
