Ingredients
-
6-8 oz of vanilla or plain yogurt
1/2 cup milk (may substitute orange juice)
1 cup frozen strawberries (may substitute frozen peaches, mangos, pineapple or mix them up)
1 medium banana (may substitute 1Tbsp honey)
Tips
Any frozen fruit would work, but not all go with banana. The banana is mainly to sweeten, so if for example you use frozen rasberries you might prefer to add 1-2 Tbsp honey instead to taste.
Out of frozen fruit? You can add fresh fruit instead. Simply replace the milk with ice cubes adding them while blending a little at a time until desired consistency.
If want a little more zing or don't like milk, Orange juice is really good too.
It is easier to make two batches than to double the recipe. Not all blenders are big enough, and it works the blender a little harder when you try.
Directions
Add ingredients into a blender with an ice crush mode. Blend on ice crush until smooth consistency. May need to occasionally stop blender stir a little or add a dash more milk, and start again to get smooth consistency.
