I don’t know about you, but it always seems like fruits and vegetables become overly ripe before I can use them completely, so I start looking for recipes. Because it’s been so hot in my area, I’ve been looking for recipes that were cold and comforting and delicious. I found one!
B and L’s Strawberry Smoothie (found by asking Alexa for Strawberry Smoothie Recipes)
Note: I personalized the original recipe a little bit, and I’ll indicate where. My changes added calories, but you can modify this simple recipe to meet your needs and taste.
Ingredients:
- Eight strawberries (I used ten), hulled
- Half a cup skim milk (I used 2% milk)
- 1/2 cup yogurt (I used vanilla ice cream the second time I made this smoothie, and I prefer the ice cream)
- Three tablespoons of sugar
- Two teaspoons of vanilla extract
- Six ice cubes crushed
Combine in a blender the strawberries, milk, yogurt or ice cream, sugar, and vanilla.
Add the ice.
Blend until smooth and creamy.
Pour into glasses and serve
