How to Make an Easy Strawberry Smoothie

Strawberry smoothies are the most favorite choice of everyone as they are healthy and delicious. Using fresh fruits will give natural sweetness to the fruit smoothie. If you want to make it with frozen strawberries then use some natural sweetener like honey or agave. Or if you like bananas then add half a cup of over ripe banana slices to any strawberry smoothie and you won't need any sweetener at all.

Should you need to be a smoothie rock star to make these refreshing drinks at home? Not at all! Follow these easy strawberry smoothie recipes and get your delicious snack within a minute.

Easy Strawberry Smoothie

Required Ingredients

• 1 cup strawberry
• 1/2 cup milk (dairy or soy)
• 1/2 cup of yogurt (or) 2 scoops of ice cream (vanilla or strawberry flavor)
• 5-6 large ice cubes
• Sugar (or) honey to taste

Directions

1. Hull the strawberries and pop them into the blender. Then add half a cup of milk to it. We need liquid to blend the strawberries to silky smooth. If you have a high end blender, then toss the ingredients one by one and blend it all at once. Else blend the strawberries with milk first to avoid chunks. If you don't like dairy products, use soy or almond milk.
2. Next add yogurt or the ice cream (we use vanilla or strawberry flavor to keep the strawberry tastiness of the smoothie) to the mix. Adding yogurt or ice cream improves the creaminess of your strawberry smoothie.
3. Finally add ice cubes to the blender. If you want, add sugar or honey for additional sweetness and blend it to smooth texture. Depending upon your blender this process will take 15 secs to 1 min.

Pour the contents to your favorite glass and garnish it with a slice of strawberry.

Simple Strawberry Vanilla Smoothie

Required Ingredients

• 8-10 medium sized strawberries
• 1/2 cup sliced banana
• 1 cup milk
• 5-6 large ice cubes
• 1 spoon vanilla Extract

Directions

1. Add hulled strawberries to the blender. Either fresh or frozen strawberries will do. If you are using fresh strawberries then you won't need extra sweetener.
2. Pour the milk to it. Whole Milk will be better. If you want to strip down some of the calories from your smoothie drink, then use skim milk.
3. Blend until strawberry is mixed well with milk and there are no chunks.
4. Now add banana slices to the mix. Banana will give a thicker texture to smoothies. Make sure you use ripe banana to get natural sweetness in the drink.
5. Finally add vanilla extract and ice cubes on top.
6. Set blender to high and blend until smooth.

Pour the contents to the serving glass and season it with a strawberry slice on the rim.
