    Health Benefits Of Strawberries

    Strawberries are rich in Vitamin C, folate, potassium, fibers, and antioxidants.

    It has a healthy amount of protein needed for the body.

    They are good for your heart, help in regulating blood sugar levels, boost immunity, are known to have anti-cancer properties, regulate blood pressure, and aid in weight management. 

    The antioxidants and polyphenols in strawberries are good for heart health and prevent cancer.

    These are good for skin and hair health.

    Ingredients

    Strawberry yogurt smoothie ingredients.

    Strawberries – You can use fresh or frozen strawberries. If using fresh strawberries, you will have to freeze them for a few hours.

    Banana – Peel the banana, chop them roughly and pack them in a freezer-safe bag, and freeze. Bananas make the base for the smoothie and are filling. You can totally skip adding bananas if you wish to.

    Yogurt – Yogurt is a great source of protein and makes the strawberry smoothie healthy and nutritious. I have used plain yogurt but you can use Greek yogurt, vanilla yogurt, or even strawberry yogurt.

    Milk – Milk is added to adjust the consistency, and to add to the creaminess. I like to use whole milk (full fat milk) but you can choose any milk that you like.

    You can even opt for orange juice instead of milk. Use 100 perfect fruit juice or make it at home.

    Sweetener – You will need some sweetener like honey or maple syrup if you like your smoothie sweet. You can also use raw sugar.

    How To Make Strawberry Yogurt Smoothie

    Preparation

    Wash 10-12 strawberries well and wipe them using a kitchen towel. Chop off the top leafy part using a paring knife. Then cut the strawberries into slices and freeze them for 5-6 hours.

    Peel and slice 1 large banana and freeze it for 5-6 hours too.

    Make The Smoothie

    Pull out the banana and strawberries from the freezer and thaw them for 10 minutes.

    Add the frozen strawberries, frozen banana, 1 cup yogurt, ½ cup milk, and honey to taste to the medium jar of a high-speed blender.

    All the ingredients added to a blender.

    Blend until smooth.

    Pour the smoothie into 2 tall glasses and serve chilled.

    You can adjust the consistency of the smoothie by increasing or decreasing the quantity of milk.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How to make it vegan?

    You can make a vegan strawberry smoothie by replacing yogurt with plant-based yogurts like coconut yogurt, cashew yogurt, soy yogurt, and milk with almond, soy, coconut milk, or even orange juice. Use maple syrup instead of honey to sweeten the smoothie.

    How to make a strawberry smoothie bowl?

    To make a smoothie bowl, make a thicker smoothie by adding less milk. Transfer the smoothie into a bowl. Top it with a selection of fresh fruit slices, chia seeds, coconut flakes, granola, muesli, dry fruits, and oats.

    You can add nuts or seed mix as well. Use edible flowers to make your smoothie bowls even more appealing. 

    Is strawberry smoothie healthy?

    Yes, without any doubt! Make sure you use fresh whole fruits without any further addition of sugar. Add honey instead or just skip adding any sweetener, as banana adds the smoothie’s needed sweetness.

    Variations

    Add your favorite fruits like berries, pineapple, cantaloupe, spinach, kale, coconut water, coconut milk, or orange juice.

    You can even add a spoonful of oats to make this strawberry yogurt drink healthier and add some fiber to it. 

    Greens like spinach, kale, etc are a perfect addition to this smoothie.

    You can also add nuts and nut butter like peanut butter, cashew butter, etc to add a nutty texture.

    Replace milk with almond milk, cashew milk, or coconut milk to make a vegan smoothie.

    To make a strawberry smoothie without banana, replace bananas with mango, avocado, oats, chia seeds, or silken tofu.

    Add cocoa powder to make a chocolate strawberry smoothie.

    You can add flax seeds, hemp seeds, or chia seeds for a crunch and nutty flavor.

    Add beetroot powder, spirulina powder, acai powder, protein powder, etc to make your strawberry smoothie healthier.

    Some people prefer ice cream shakes over smoothies. Smoothies are made using fruits and can have fresh or frozen fruits. While ice cream shakes utilize flavored ice cream and milk. If you prefer ice cream shakes, you can replace yogurt with ice cream and blend it with fruits of your choice.

    Storage Suggestions

    Make it fresh! As it takes just 5 minutes to get all the ingredients together and blend, I will not recommend you to store it. Instead, you can prep for the same, so that it takes less time to get it ready.

    Wash, chop and freeze the fruits, and use them according to your comfort. These frozen fruits last for months without getting spoiled.

    If you still have leftovers, then transfer them in airtight jars and refrigerate them for up to a day. Shake well before serving.
