Ingredients
  

  • 150 g frozen strawberries hulled
  • 1 large ripe banana peeled, sliced and frozen
  • 120 ml whole milk or almond, oat, or soy milk
  • 100 g plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup optional, to taste
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract optional
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds or ground flaxseed optional, for extra fibre and thickness

Method
 

  1. Add Liquids First: Pour the 120ml of milk and the 100g of Greek yogurt into the base of your blender jug. If you're using vanilla or honey, add them now.
  2. Add Optional Seeds: If you're including chia seeds or ground flaxseed, sprinkle them in on top of the liquid base.
  3. Add the Frozen Fruit: Add the 150g of frozen strawberries and the frozen sliced banana to the blender.
  4. Start Blending: Secure the lid on the blender. I find that starting the blender on a low speed for about 15-20 seconds helps to break up the large pieces of frozen fruit without putting too much strain on the motor.
  5. Blend Until Smooth: Increase the speed to high and blend for 45-60 seconds, or until the smoothie is completely smooth and creamy. You shouldn't see any chunks of fruit remaining.
  6. Check Consistency: If the smoothie is too thick for your liking, add another splash of milk (a tablespoon at a time) and blend again for a few seconds to combine. If it’s too thin, add a few more frozen strawberries or half a dozen ice cubes.
  7. Serve Immediately: Pour the smoothie into one or two glasses and enjoy straight away for the best taste and texture.

Notes

For the best taste and texture, serve immediately. Adjust thickness by adding more milk (to thin) or a few ice cubes (to thicken).
