Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash and hull the strawberries to remove the green tops.
- Measure out 1 cup of milk and 1 cup of lowfat Greek yogurt.
- Have 3 tablespoons of sugar and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract ready.
- Ensure you have 6 ice cubes on hand.

- Pour in the sugar and vanilla extract.
- Add the ice cubes to the mixture.
- Secure the lid on the blender.
- Blend on high speed until all the ingredients are well combined and smooth. This should take about 1-2 minutes. If needed, stop occasionally to scrape down the sides of the blender to ensure everything is thoroughly mixed.
- If the smoothie is too thick for your liking, add a little more milk and blend again until you reach your desired consistency.
- Pour the smoothie into glasses.
- Enjoy immediately while it's cold and refreshing.
- If desired, garnish with a fresh strawberry on the rim of the glass or a sprinkle of granola on top for a bit of crunch.
Tips:
- Use fresh organic strawberries to enhance the flavor and nutritional value of your smoothie.
- For a thicker consistency, freeze the strawberries beforehand or use frozen strawberries directly.
- Opt for a plant-based milk alternative like almond or soy milk if you're lactose intolerant or prefer a dairy-free option.
- Adjust the sweetness by modifying the amount of sugar or using natural sweeteners like honey or agave syrup.
- Add a scoop of protein powder or a handful of spinach for an extra boost of nutrition.
- Blend the ingredients on high speed to ensure a smooth and creamy texture.
- Pour the smoothie into a chilled glass and garnish with a strawberry slice or a sprinkle of granola for a touch of extra flair.
