Ingredients
- 1 to 1-1/2 cups orange juice or pineapple juice
- 1 cup yogurt plain, Greek
- 2 cups strawberry unsweetened, about 8.5 ounces weighed, cleaned and frozen
- 1 banana , sliced
- 1/2 inch ginger optional), peeled, fresh, piece
- 1/4 cup mint leaves optional, fresh, loosely packed
- honey optional, if your berries are particularly tart, or agave for sweetening
Instructions
- Place 1 cup juice, yogurt, strawberries, banana, ginger, and mint in a blender in the order listed, and blend until smooth and creamy.*
- 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.
