Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries

- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- 1. Add milk to the blender first, followed by Greek yogurt.
- 2. Add the strawberries and banana, breaking the banana into chunks.
- 3. Add honey or maple syrup and vanilla extract if using.
- 4. Top with ice cubes if using fresh fruit.
- 5. Blend on high speed for 45-60 seconds until completely smooth and creamy.

Notes
Store leftover smoothie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Shake well before drinking. For a thicker smoothie bowl consistency, use less milk and top with granola, fresh fruit, and nuts. Frozen fruit eliminates the need for ice and creates a creamier texture.
