Method 2 of 4: Strawberry and Blackberry Smoothies
- 1 Pour orange juice into a blender and add strawberries and blackberries. Orange juice provides additional sweetness and acidity.
- 2 Add ice to a blender. Adding hard ice after the fruit will allow the blenders to mix more efficiently.
- 3 Add yogurt to blender (optional). Plain yogurt will add a sour flavor and allow more fresh fruit flavor to emerge.
- 4 Mix for 5 seconds, then pause, then mix again. Repeat until a smooth consistency is obtained.
- 5 Ready.
Method 3 of 4: Honey Strawberry Smoothie
Honey is a healthy alternative to ice cream or sugar.
- 1 Pour 1 cup of yogurt (2 if thirsty) into a blender.
- 2 Add 6 strawberries. Mix until no lumps remain. If mixing stops, it means pockets of air have formed. Use a rubber spatula to nudge the smoothie.
- 3 Add chopped banana (optional). Mix.
- 4 Add honey to taste. Use about a tablespoon to start, then mix. Taste, if more honey is needed add and blend until desired flavor is obtained.
- 5 Pour into a tall (or short, but tall) glass. Enjoy!
Method 4 of 4: Vanilla Strawberry Smoothie
- 1 Place the strawberries in a blender.
- 2 Pour in milk.
- 3 Add strawberries or vanilla yogurt.
- 4 Mix.
- 5 Add vanilla or strawberry ice cream. Pour in vanilla extract, about 1-2 drops. Finally, add orange juice and ice cubes.
- 6 Mix all ingredients until fully blended.
- 7 Pour into serving glasses.
Tips
- Add more ice for extra ice flakes.
- You can use fresh fruit, but frozen is better. This will make the smoothie colder and may eliminate the need for adding ice (depending on your preference).
- For parties and guests, try serving in ice cream glasses with spoons. Add whipped cream and chopped strawberries for decoration.
- Try freshly squeezed orange juice. Sometimes orange juice from a bottle can add bitterness.
- Adding ice cream will taste more like smoothies.
- If the smoothie isn't sweet enough for you, add 1 ½ teaspoon of sugar or honey.
- If you want a creamier smoothie, add milk or extra ice cream.
Warnings
- Remember to close the blender lid before mixing.
- Don't drink too quickly. You can freeze your brains.
- Be careful with sharp objects. This sounds simple, but please be careful. For my own sake.
- Remember to cut off the stems of the strawberries.
