Ingredients:

  • 2 cups (300g) frozen strawberries
  • 1 large (120g) frozen banana, peeled and broken into chunks
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) whole milk
  • 1/2 cup (125g) plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tsp (7g) honey
  • 1/2 tsp (2.5ml) vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp (5ml) lemon juice

Instructions:

  1. Pour the 1/2 cup whole milk, 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, 1 tsp honey, 1/2 tsp vanilla, and 1 tsp lemon juice into the blender base first. Note: Placing liquids at the bottom prevents the blades from spinning aimlessly against the frozen fruit.
  2. Add the 2 cups of frozen strawberries and the broken chunks of your 1 large frozen banana on top of the liquid. Note: Breaking the banana into 3 or 4 pieces helps the blender process them faster.
  3. Start the blender on its lowest setting for about 10 seconds. You will hear the fruit clunking around - this is normal. Gradually increase the speed to high.
  4. Blend on high for 45-60 seconds until the sound becomes a consistent, smooth whir and no lumps are visible. The color should be a uniform, pale pink with a matte, frosty finish.
  5. Stop the blender and dip a spoon in. It should feel heavy and leave a clear trail when moved through the mixture. If it's too thick to move, add a splash more milk and pulse again.
  6. Pour immediately into two chilled glasses. The mixture should fold onto itself as it fills the glass, indicating a perfect, frosty density.
