Strawberry Smoothie With Greek Yogurt (Printable Version)

Creamy blend of fresh strawberries and Greek yogurt, ready in 5 minutes for a quick nutritious breakfast.

# Ingredient List:

01 - 1½ cups fresh or frozen strawberries, hulled

02 - 1 small ripe banana, peeled

03 - 1 cup plain Greek yogurt

04 - ½ cup milk (dairy or plant-based)

05 - 1–2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup, to taste

06 - ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

07 - 1 tablespoon chia seeds or ground flaxseed

01 - Place the strawberries, banana, Greek yogurt, milk, and sweetener (if using) in a blender.

02 - Add vanilla extract and seeds if desired.

03 - Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides if needed.

04 - Taste and adjust sweetness or thickness by adding more honey or maple syrup for sweetness, or more milk to thin.

05 - Pour into two glasses and serve immediately, optionally garnished with a fresh strawberry slice.

01 -

The protein from Greek yogurt keeps you full without making it feel heavy like a meal replacement shake
Fresh strawberries bring natural sweetness so you barely need any added sugar

02 -

Frozen strawberries eliminate the need for ice, which means your smoothie stays flavorful instead of watery as it melts
Letting the blender run just a bit longer than you think you need to ensures that chia seeds disappear completely

03 -

Buy strawberries in bulk when they are in season and freeze them yourself for year round smoothies that taste better than store-bought frozen fruit
If your banana is not quite ripe enough, add an extra teaspoon of honey to compensate
