Creamy Strawberry Smoothie Recipe

This recipe makes approximately two servings, similar to what you see in the photo.

Frozen Strawberries: 2 cups (using frozen gives it that thick, frosty texture).
Milk of Choice: 1 ½ cups (Whole milk, almond, or oat milk all work great).
Greek Yogurt: ½ cup (Plain or vanilla for extra creaminess and protein).
Sweetener: 1–2 tablespoons of honey or maple syrup (adjust to your taste).
Vanilla Extract: ½ teaspoon (to enhance the berry flavor).

Layer the Blender: Add the liquid (milk) and yogurt to the blender first. This helps the blades move more easily.
Add the Rest: Toss in the frozen strawberries, sweetener, and vanilla extract.
Blend: Start on a low speed and gradually increase to high. Blend for about 45–60 seconds until completely smooth with no visible fruit chunks.
Check Consistency: If it’s too thick, add a splash more milk. If you prefer it thicker, add a few more frozen berries or a handful of ice.
Serve: Pour into tall glasses.

The Garnish: Slit a fresh strawberry halfway up the middle and perch it on the rim of the glass, just like in your picture.
The Straw: Use a striped paper straw for that classic “milkshake” look.
Extra Pink: For an even more vibrant color, you can add a small slice of raw beet (don’t worry, you won’t taste it!) or a teaspoon of strawberry powder.
