Strawberry Smoothie
A thick, creamy, naturally sweet strawberry smoothie made with frozen strawberries, milk, honey and a touch of vanilla. Just 4 ingredients and ready in 5 minutes.
Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen strawberries
- 1 cup milk dairy or almond, oat or coconut milk
- 2 tbsp honey or to taste
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
- whipped cream and fresh strawberries for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Add to the blender. Pour the milk into the blender first, then add the frozen strawberries, honey and vanilla.
- Blend. Blend on low, then on high, until completely smooth and creamy, about 45 seconds to 1 minute.
- Adjust. Too thick? Add milk 1 to 2 tablespoons at a time. Too thin? Add a few more frozen strawberries. Taste and add more honey if needed.
- Serve. Pour into glasses, garnish with whipped cream and a fresh strawberry if you like, and serve right away with a straw.
Notes
Why frozen strawberries: They make the smoothie thick and cold without ice, so the flavor stays concentrated.
Make it creamier: Add half a frozen banana or ¼ cup of Greek yogurt.
