Quick Creamy Strawberry Yogurt Smoothie
Cold, creamy, and bursting with fresh berry flavor, this simple smoothie is a fantastic morning refresher. You'll blend ripe strawberries with milk and strawberry yogurt to create a thick, naturally sweet drink without any extra sugar. It's a great way to use up summer produce, though grocery store berries work just fine year-round. Pour it into tall glasses and enjoy a bright, satisfying start to your day.
Ingredients
- 1 pint (2 cups) strawberries
- 1 cup milk
- 2 containers (6 oz each) strawberry yogurt (1 ⅓ cups)
Instructions
- 1Set aside four strawberries for garnishing. Remove the green hulls from the remaining berries.
- 2Add the hulled strawberries, milk, and strawberry yogurt to a blender.
- 3Secure the lid and blend on high speed for about 30 seconds until completely smooth. Blending thoroughly ensures there aren't any hidden fruit chunks.
- 4Divide the smoothie evenly among four glasses and top each with a reserved strawberry.
Notes
- Variation: For a peach smoothie, swap the fresh strawberries for frozen sliced peaches and use peach yogurt instead.
- Variation: To make a strawberry-banana version, replace one cup of the strawberries with a medium banana cut into chunks.
- Tip: If you prefer a thicker, colder drink, freeze your hulled strawberries for an hour before blending.
