Strawberry Banana Smoothie Recipe

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:

   • If using fresh strawberries, wash and hull them. Peel the ripe banana and chop it into chunks.

2. Load the Blender:

   • Place the strawberries, banana chunks, yogurt, and milk into the blender pitcher.

3. Optional Sweetener:

   • If desired, add honey or maple syrup for extra sweetness.

4. Blend Until Smooth:

   • Secure the blender lid and start blending on low speed, gradually increasing to high, until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture is smooth. Blend for about 1-2 minutes, ensuring there are no chunks remaining.

5. Check Consistency:

   • If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash of additional milk and blend again until reaching the desired consistency.

6. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Pour the refreshing strawberry banana smoothie into glasses. Optionally, garnish with a strawberry slice or a banana slice on the rim of the glass.

Tips:

• For a frostier texture, add a handful of ice cubes to the blender before blending.
• Experiment with variations by adding a handful of spinach or kale for added nutrition without altering the taste too much.
