Ingredients

  • 1 to 1-1/2 cups orange or pineapple juice
  • 1 cup plain greek yogurt
  • 2 cups cleaned and frozen strawberries (unsweetened, about 8.5 ounces weighed)
  • 1 banana , sliced
  • 1/2 inch piece fresh ginger (optional), peeled
  • 1/4 cup loosely-packed fresh mint leaves (optional)
  • honey or agave for sweetening (optional, if your berries are particularly tart)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place 1 cup juice, yogurt, strawberries, banana, ginger, and mint in a blender in the order listed, and blend until smooth and creamy.*
  2. Add additional juice to thin, if needed, to reach your desired smoothie consistency. If desired, add sweetener to taste, blending to combine. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • *I use my Vitamix high speed blender for smoothies, increasing the speed to 8 and using the tamper, if needed, for about 30-40 seconds total blending time.
  • Using frozen strawberries makes the thickest, most velvety smoothies. I like to wash and pre-portion my strawberries into zip-top freezer bags the day I bring them home from the market, making morning smoothie-making a breeze! (Slice very large strawberries in half.)
  • I use fresh bananas here, but if you like an extra-thick smoothie, sliced frozen bananas are fantastic (you might need to add additional juice).
  • I love the brightness and hint of spice that fresh mint and ginger lend to the recipe, but they're easy to omit if you prefer a more traditional smoothie.
