Prep Time10 minutes

Total Time10 minutes
Servings: 2 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 ripe banana (fresh or frozen; frozen makes it creamier)
  • 1 to 1½ cups strawberries (fresh or frozen; hulled)
  • 1 cup milk (dairy, almond, oat, or soy)
  • ½ cup yogurt (Greek for extra protein, or any plain/vanilla)
  • 1–2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (optional, adjust to taste)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for warmth and depth)
  • Ice cubes (optional, only if using all fresh fruit and you want it colder)
  • Pinch of salt (optional, brightens flavor)

Instructions

  • Load the blender. Add milk first, then yogurt, banana, and strawberries. Liquids at the bottom help the blades catch and blend smoothly.
  • Sweeten lightly. Add honey or maple syrup if needed, plus vanilla and a tiny pinch of salt. Start with less sweetener—you can always add more.
  • Blend until silky. Start on low to break things up, then move to high for 20–40 seconds. Stop and scrape down the sides if any fruit sticks.
  • Adjust texture. Too thick? Add a splash more milk. Too thin? Add a few frozen strawberries or a couple of ice cubes and blend again.
  • Taste and finish. Check sweetness and chill. Pour into a glass, and drink right away for the best flavor and texture.
