Ingredients
3 cups frozen unsweetened strawberries
2 cups 1% low-fat milk
1 medium ripe banana
1 cup low-fat plain yogurt
Directions
Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water before beginning.
Allow the frozen strawberries to sit at room temperature for 2-3 minutes until they soften slightly, making them easier to blend without being completely thawed.
Pour the cold 1% low-fat milk into your blender pitcher.
Add the softened frozen strawberries to the milk in the blender.
Peel the banana and break it into chunks, then add it to the blender along with the plain low-fat yogurt.
Secure the blender lid and blend on high speed for 30 to 45 seconds until the mixture reaches a smooth, creamy consistency with no visible fruit chunks.
Pour the smoothie into serving glasses and serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
Comments
This smoothie hits the marks for a Charlotte kitchen: strawberries, bananas, milk, and yogurt are all reliably stocked at every major chain, with no special trips required. At roughly $1.50–$2 per serving depending on whether you use fresh or frozen berries and store-brand yogurt, it's genuinely cheap for four drinks. The 10-minute stated time is honest—it's blending and cleanup, nothing hidden. It's a natural fit for busy mornings, reheats poorly (smoothies don't reheat), but that's the category, not a flaw; just make it fresh.
