Fresh Strawberry Bliss Smoothie

This recipe yields about 2 servings, perfect for those two glasses shown in your photo.

Amount	Ingredient	Notes
2 cups	Fresh or Frozen Strawberries	Hulled (stems removed)
1 cup	Milk of choice	Dairy, almond, or oat milk work great
1/2 cup	Greek Yogurt	Plain or vanilla for creaminess
1-2 tbsp	Honey or Maple Syrup	Adjust based on berry sweetness
1 tsp	Vanilla Extract	For that “smoothie shop” aroma
1 cup	Ice	Only if using fresh berries

Prep the Berries: If using fresh strawberries, wash them thoroughly and remove the green tops. If they are very large, slice them in half to help the blender.
Layer the Blender: Add your liquid (milk) first. This prevents the fruit from getting stuck at the bottom.
Add the Rest: Add the yogurt, sweetener, vanilla, and finally the strawberries (and ice if needed).
Blend: Start on a low speed and gradually increase to high. Blend for about 45–60 seconds until the texture is completely smooth and those tiny strawberry seeds are well-incorporated.
Garnish: Pour into tall glasses. As seen in your image, slice a fresh strawberry halfway through the bottom and perch it on the rim of the glass. Add a fun striped straw to finish the look!

For a thicker smoothie: Use frozen strawberries instead of fresh. It creates a frosty, sorbet-like consistency without watering it down with ice.
For extra nutrients: Add a tablespoon of chia seeds or ground flaxseeds; they won’t change the flavor but will add a boost of fiber.
