🍓 Creamy Strawberry & Honey Smoothie
This recipe yields a velvety texture with a natural sweetness. Using frozen strawberries is the “pro tip” for getting that thick, chilled consistency without watering it down with ice.
Ingredients
Strawberries: 2 cups frozen strawberries (or fresh strawberries + 1 cup ice).
Liquid Base: 1 cup milk of your choice (dairy, almond, or oat milk all work great).
Creaminess: 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla).
Sweetener: 1 to 2 tablespoons of honey (adjust to your taste).
Garnish: Fresh mint leaves and a sliced strawberry.
Instructions
Layer the Blender: Add your liquid base (milk) first. This helps the blades move freely and prevents the fruit from getting stuck at the bottom.
Add Solids: Add the yogurt, frozen strawberries, and honey.
Blend: Start on a low speed and gradually increase to high. Blend for about 45–60 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and no fruit chunks remain.
Check Consistency: If it’s too thick, add a splash more milk. If you want it thicker, add a few more frozen berries.
Serve: Pour into a tall glass. Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and a strawberry slice as seen in your photo.
Tips for the Perfect Sip
The Mint Twist: If you like a refreshing kick, toss 2–3 small mint leaves into the blender. It pairs beautifully with the honey.
Storage: Smoothies are best enjoyed immediately, but you can keep this in a sealed mason jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours (just give it a good shake before drinking).
