Ingredients You’ll Need

Meet your minimalist smoothie squad:

• Strawberries (1 cup) – Fresh or frozen. Frozen = thicker, FYI.
• Banana (1 medium) – Ripe bananas = free sweetness.
• Plain Yogurt (¾ cup) – Creamy, tangy, and filling.
• Milk (½ cup) – Any kind works. You’re the boss.

Bold tip: If your banana isn’t ripe, your smoothie won’t be sweet. Choose wisely.

1. Grab your blender.
   Put it on the counter and plug it in. Starting strong already.
