Ingredients
  

  • Frozen strawberries (1 1/2 cups) – For natural sweetness and a thick, frosty texture.
  • Plain or vanilla yogurt (3/4 cup) – Greek yogurt for extra protein and thickness; regular yogurt for a lighter sip.
  • Milk (1/2 to 3/4 cup) – Dairy or a non-dairy option like almond, oat, or soy milk.
  • Honey or maple syrup (1 to 2 teaspoons) – Optional, depending on your berries and yogurt.
  • Vanilla extract (1/2 teaspoon) – Adds a cozy, rounded flavor.
  • Ice (optional, a few cubes) – Use only if you want it extra frosty or if your berries aren’t fully frozen.
  • Pinch of salt – Tiny amount to make the flavors pop.

Method
 

  1. Start with frozen fruit. Add frozen strawberries to your blender first. This keeps the blades anchored and helps everything blend evenly.
  2. Add yogurt and liquid. Spoon in the yogurt, then pour in 1/2 cup milk to start. You can add more later if it’s too thick.
  3. Sweeten and flavor. Add honey or maple syrup to taste, vanilla extract, and a tiny pinch of salt.
  4. Blend on low, then high. Start on low speed to break up the strawberries, then move to high until smooth. Stop and scrape down the sides as needed.
  5. Adjust texture. If it’s too thick, add a splash more milk and blend again. If it’s too thin, add a few more frozen strawberries or a couple ice cubes.
  6. Taste and tweak. Need more sweetness? Add a drizzle of honey. Want more tang? Add a spoonful of yogurt. Blend briefly to combine.
  7. Serve right away. Pour into a chilled glass for the best texture. Top with sliced strawberries or a sprinkle of granola if you like.
