- Measuring cups and spoons
Ingredients
Frozen Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups frozen strawberries
- 1 cup vanilla yogurt, Greek or regular
- ½ to ¾ cup milk of choice, vanilla almond, oat, or dairy
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 to 2 tablespoons maple syrup, honey, or sugar-free sweetener, optional
- handful of ice, optional, for a thicker, frostier texture
Instructions
- Add 2 1/2 cups frozen strawberries, 1 cup vanilla yogurt, 1/2 cup milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to your blender. Toss in 1 to 2 tablespoons sweetener now too if you're using it.
- Blend on high until smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides if needed, about 30 to 60 seconds.
- Check the texture. If it's too thick to pour, add 2 tablespoons of milk at a time and blend again. If it's too thin, drop in a few more frozen strawberries or a handful of ice.
- Pour into one large glass or two small ones and drink right away while cold and frosty.
Notes
Storage: Smoothies taste best right after blending, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Shake or re-blend before drinking, since some separation is normal.
Make ahead: Scoop the frozen strawberries and any add-ins into a freezer bag ahead of time, then blend fresh with the yogurt, milk, and vanilla in the morning.
Sweetener: Ripe, peak-season strawberries may not need any sweetener at all. Taste the base first, then add maple syrup, honey, agave, or a sugar-free sweetener only if you want it sweeter.
Fresh strawberries: If using fresh instead of frozen, add a handful of ice for thickness, or freeze the berries for at least 4 hours first.
