Ingredients
- 1 cup strawberries, hulled
- 1 banana, sliced
- 1 kiwi, peeled and sliced
- 1 cup yogurt
- 1/2 cup milk
- Honey to taste (optional)
Instructions
- Wash all fresh fruits thoroughly under cool running water to remove any dirt or debris.
- Hull the strawberries by removing the green leafy top using a paring knife or strawberry huller.
- Peel the banana and slice it into roughly 1-inch thick rounds for easier blending.
- Carefully peel the kiwi and slice it into small pieces, removing any tough core.
- Place all prepared fruits into a high-powered blender.
- Add the yogurt and milk to the blender with the fruits.
- If desired, drizzle honey into the blender for additional sweetness.
- Secure the blender lid tightly and blend on high speed for 30-45 seconds until smooth and creamy.
- Stop the blender and check the consistency, adding more milk if too thick or more yogurt if too thin.
- Pour the smoothie into two glasses, dividing evenly.
- Optional: Garnish with a fresh strawberry slice or a kiwi wedge on the rim of the glass.
- Serve immediately and enjoy chilled.
Tips
- Use frozen fruits for an extra thick and frosty texture - this can replace ice and make your smoothie more creamy.
- Always add liquid ingredients first, then soft fruits, then frozen or harder fruits to help your blender mix more efficiently.
- For the sweetest result, choose ripe bananas with some brown spots, as they're naturally sweeter.
- If you want a protein boost, consider adding a scoop of protein powder or a tablespoon of chia seeds.
- Experiment with different yogurt types - Greek yogurt will make it thicker, while regular yogurt keeps it lighter.
- Clean your blender immediately after use to prevent sticky residue and maintain its performance.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute milk and yogurt with almond milk or coconut yogurt.
