Ingredients
  

Main
  • 1 frozen banana peeled and sliced
  • 2 cups frozen strawberries raspberries, or cherries
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup plain or vanilla yogurt
  • 1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons honey or to taste

Equipment

  • 1 High-Speed Blender Essential for achieving a smooth, consistent texture.
  • 2 Serving Glasses For presenting the finished smoothies.
  • 1 Measuring Cups For accurate ingredient measurement.

Method
 

  1. Put all the ingredients in a blender and process until smooth. Pour into glasses and serve.
  2. Cooks note: For non-dairy smoothies, substitute 1 cup rice milk for the milk and yogurt. Or, use soy yogurt or milk instead of dairy.

Notes

For optimal texture, ensure your frozen fruits are truly frozen solid. If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash more milk or orange juice; if too thin, add a few ice cubes or more frozen fruit. Adjust honey to taste, considering the natural sweetness of your fruit. For a thicker, more 'bowl-like' consistency, reduce the liquid slightly. To enhance nutritional value, consider adding a scoop of protein powder or a tablespoon of chia seeds before blending.
