🍓 Creamy Strawberry Mint Smoothie - Healthy Diet Recipes World

Strawberries: 2 cups fresh or frozen (frozen makes it thicker).
Milk Base: 1 cup of your preferred milk (dairy, almond, or oat milk all work well).
Yogurt: 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or vanilla yogurt for extra creaminess.
Sweetener: 1–2 tablespoons of honey or maple syrup (optional, depending on the sweetness of the berries).
Freshness: 2–3 fresh mint leaves (plus more for garnish).
Ice: A handful of ice cubes (only if using fresh berries).

Prepare the Berries: Wash the strawberries and remove the green leafy tops (hulls). If they are very large, cut them in half.
Combine Ingredients: Place the strawberries, milk, yogurt, sweetener, and mint leaves into a blender.
Blend: Start on a low speed and gradually increase to high. Blend for about 45–60 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and pale pink.
Check Consistency: If you prefer a thinner smoothie, add a splash more milk. If you want it thicker, add a few more frozen strawberries or ice cubes and blend again.
Serve: Pour the smoothie into tall glasses like the ones in the photo.
Garnish: Top each glass with a fresh mint leaf and a slice of strawberry to match the presentation in your image.

For a “Frosty” Texture: Use frozen strawberries instead of fresh ones. This creates a thick, milkshake-like consistency without watering it down with ice.
Boost the Nutrition: You can add a tablespoon of chia seeds or flax seeds before blending; they won’t change the flavor much but will add healthy fiber.
