Recipe for a Delicious Strawberry Smoothie

Ingredients:

• 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
• 1 ripe banana, peeled and sliced
• 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1/2 cup milk (you can use dairy or non-dairy milk)
• 1-2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional, depending on sweetness preference)
• Ice cubes (optional, for a colder smoothie)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Strawberries: Wash the strawberries thoroughly, remove the stems (hulls), and chop them into smaller pieces.
2. Blend Ingredients: In a blender, combine the chopped strawberries, sliced banana, Greek yogurt, milk, and honey or maple syrup (if using). If you want a colder smoothie, add a handful of ice cubes as well.
3. Blend Until Smooth: Blend everything until smooth and creamy. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the blender with a spatula to ensure all ingredients are well combined.
4. Taste and Adjust: Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness by adding more honey or maple syrup if needed.
5. Serve: Pour the strawberry smoothie into glasses and serve immediately. You can optionally garnish with a few sliced strawberries on top.

Tips:

• For a thicker smoothie, use frozen strawberries or add more banana.
• Adjust the consistency by adding more milk if it’s too thick or more yogurt if it’s too thin.
• You can customize this smoothie by adding a handful of spinach or kale for extra nutrition without affecting the flavor much.
• Feel free to experiment with different fruits like blueberries or raspberries for a variation.

Enjoy your refreshing and nutritious Strawberry Smoothie!
