Ingredients:

  • 1.5 cups frozen strawberries
  • 1 large overripe frozen banana, sliced
  • 1 cup cold whole milk
  • 0.25 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 0.5 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp honey

Instructions:

  1. Pour the cold whole milk into the bottom of the blender canister. Note: Liquid at the bottom lubricates the blades instantly.
  2. Add the Greek yogurt and honey on top of the milk.
  3. Drop in the vanilla extract, ensuring it hits the liquid so it disperses evenly.
  4. Add the sliced frozen banana pieces next. Note: These are softer than berries and help create the initial creaminess.
  5. Heap the frozen strawberries on the very top. Weight at the top helps push the ingredients down into the blades.
  6. Secure the lid tightly and start the blender on the lowest speed.
  7. Slowly ramp up to high speed and blend for 45 to 60 seconds until the mixture is spinning in a smooth, funnel like vortex.
  8. Stop and check the consistency with a spoon. If you see chunks, blend for another 15 seconds.
  9. Pour into a chilled glass immediately until it reaches the brim with a thick, satisfying glug.
