Ingredients

1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

1 ripe banana, peeled and sliced

1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)

½ cup Greek yogurt (or vegan yogurt for a dairy-free option)

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

A handful of ice cubes

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Begin by washing the strawberries thoroughly and removing the green stems. Slice them into halves or quarters.

Peel and slice the ripe banana into small pieces, setting aside a few slices for garnish if desired.

In a blender, combine the sliced strawberries, banana, almond milk, Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon.

Blend the ingredients on high speed until smooth and creamy. If you prefer a thinner consistency, feel free to add more almond milk until you reach the desired texture.

Add a handful of ice cubes to the blender, and blend again for about 15-20 seconds until the ice is fully crushed and incorporated.

Taste the smoothie and adjust the sweetness if needed by adding more honey or maple syrup.

Once the smoothie is blended to a lovely consistency, pour it into chilled glasses.

Garnish with fresh mint leaves and any reserved banana slices or strawberry halves on top.

Serve immediately and enjoy the deliciously refreshing berry delight!
