Ingredients
Scale
Fruits
- 2 cups frozen strawberries (thawed for 5 minutes)
- 2 medium kiwis (peeled and cut in half)
Dairy
- ½ cup milk
- ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
Optional
- 1-2 tablespoons sweetener (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Allow the frozen strawberries to thaw for about 5 minutes to ease blending. Peel the kiwis and cut them in halves for smooth processing.
- Add to Blender: Place all ingredients in a blender, arranging softer items like yogurt and milk closest to the blades and harder fruits like kiwis further away to promote smooth blending.
- Blend Smoothie: Start blending on low speed and gradually increase to high, blending for 1 to 2 minutes until the mixture becomes creamy. If blending stalls, stop to stir or add a splash more milk to assist.
- Adjust Sweetness and Serve: Taste the smoothie and add additional sweetener if desired, then re-blend briefly. Serve chilled with optional diced strawberries and kiwis for garnish, and include a straw for easy drinking.
Notes
- Thawing frozen strawberries slightly helps achieve a smoother texture.
- Use Greek yogurt for added protein and creaminess; substitute with plant-based yogurt for a vegan option.
- Adjust milk quantity if the smoothie is too thick or too thin for your preference.
- Sweetener is optional; natural sweetness usually suffices from the fruits.
- For a colder smoothie, use all frozen fruits and add a handful of ice cubes before blending.
