Instructions:
- Ensure your strawberries are hulled (remove the green leafy tops) and rinse them well under cold water.
- Measure out all other ingredients for easy access.
- In a blender, start by adding the water (1.5 cups) followed by the hulled strawberries.
- Pour in the first cup of nonfat milk (240g).
- Add the second cup of nonfat milk (240g) to the blender.
- Finally, incorporate the 2 tablespoons of lemon juice (30g).
- Secure the lid on the blender and blend the mixture on a high setting until it is smooth and creamy, approximately 1-2 minutes. Make sure there are no chunks of strawberry remaining.
- Taste your smoothie. If you prefer it sweeter, you can add a bit of honey or your favorite sweetener and blend again.
- For a more pronounced tartness, you can add a bit more lemon juice to your liking.
- Pour the smoothie into glasses and serve immediately.
- You can garnish with a slice of lemon or a whole strawberry on the rim of the glass for an added touch.
Tips:
- For a thicker smoothie, add a handful of ice cubes or frozen strawberries.
- If you prefer a creamier texture, replace one cup of nonfat milk with Greek yogurt.
- Add a tablespoon of honey or agave syrup if you want it a bit sweeter.
- Blend the smoothie until it's completely smooth to ensure the best texture.
- Garnish with a slice of lemon or a fresh strawberry for an extra touch of elegance.
