Strawberry Smoothie
Ingredients
Step by step process
Preparation
- 1
Rinse the strawberries under cold water, remove the stems, and halve larger ones so they fit easily into the blender jar.
- 2
Peel the bananas and slice them into rounds about 2 cm thick, they blend more smoothly this way and give the drink its creamy texture.
- 3
Measure the plain yogurt and milk into separate containers, and have the honey and lemon juice ready. It helps to have everything within reach before you start the blender.
Blending
- 4
Add the strawberries and banana to the blender, then pour in the plain yogurt and milk.
- 5
Add the honey and lemon juice, and optionally a few ice cubes for extra refreshment.
- 6
Blend on high for 45-60 seconds until completely smooth and creamy with no lumps. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of milk and blend for another 10 seconds.
Serving
- 7
Taste and adjust: add more milk for a thinner consistency or a little honey for extra sweetness.
- 8
Pour into four glasses, garnish with a fresh mint leaf or a strawberry slice and serve immediately, ideally chilled.
More tips:
Out of season, use frozen strawberries - the smoothie will be thicker and ice won't be necessary.
For a vegan version, replace the yogurt and milk with plant-based alternatives and sweeten with maple syrup.
