Simple Summer Smoothie Recipe
This refreshing summer smoothie is packed with seasonal fruit, natural sweetness, and creamy goodness — the perfect nourishing treat for warm days on the homestead.
Equipment
- Blender Essential for combining and pureeing the ingredients into a smooth, drinkable texture.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Greek yogurt We use whole milk Greek Yogurt which is high in protein at 20 grams of protein per 7oz serving.
- 1/2 cup Milk We use whole milk but can easily be substituted with the milk of your choice.
- 5 Strawberries
- 1 Banana A ripe banana adds more sweetness to your smoothie.
- 6 Large ice cubes
Instructions
- Add ingredients to blender. Start by pouring the liquid ingredients into the blender first. Then, add the solid ingredients on top. This helps everything blend more smoothly. Use whatever blender you have — we use a Ninja blender from Sam’s Club, but any blender will work!
- Blend until smooth. Blend all ingredients together until smooth and creamy. A full-size blender works well, but a single-serve blending cup is great for small batches.
- Serve and garnish. Pour your smoothie into a tall glass. Garnish with sliced strawberries or bananas on the rim, or sprinkle a dash of cinnamon on top for an extra treat.
Notes
How to Make Your Smoothie Thicker:
- For a thicker, colder smoothie, freeze your banana and strawberries before blending.
- Add a tablespoon or two of oats to create a creamier texture and boost the nutrition.
