Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a blender, combine 1 cup of frozen strawberries, 1 sliced frozen banana, 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk, and 1/2 cup of plain Greek yogurt. Add 1 tablespoon of honey and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract for enhanced flavor. Blend everything on high for about 30-45 seconds until smooth.
  2. Assess the thickness of your smoothie. If it’s too thick, gradually add more almond milk, pulsing until the desired consistency is reached. For a thicker smoothie, add additional frozen strawberries or banana slices and blend until creamy.
  3. Pour the smoothie into your favorite glasses. Enjoy fresh for the best experience, perfect for breakfast or as a mid-day snack.
  4. If pre-making your smoothie, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Stir or re-blend before serving to restore its creamy texture.
