Servings: 2
Skill Level: Easy
Ingredients:
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled
- 2 ripe plums, pitted and sliced
- 1 banana, peeled
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for added sweetness)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Begin by washing the strawberries thoroughly and removing their stems. The sweet, fresh aroma of the strawberries should start to fill your kitchen.
- Cut the plums into slices, discarding the pits. Feel the plums’ tender flesh as you prepare them.
- Peel the banana, letting its scent blend with the other fruits, promising a creamy texture.
- In a blender, combine the strawberries, plums, banana, Greek yogurt, almond milk, honey, and vanilla extract.
- Blend on high until smooth, about 1-2 minutes. The smoothie should be thick, luscious, and evenly mixed.
- Pour into glasses and serve immediately. Enjoy the brilliant red hue and the enticing combination of flavors.
Helpful Tips and Variations:
- If fresh strawberries and plums are not in season, frozen fruits work just as well and will give a frostier texture to your smoothie.
- For a dairy-free option, substitute Greek yogurt with a coconut yogurt alternative.
- To make this drink even more fun for kids, serve in colorful reusable cups with straws.
Storage and Substitutions:
- Store any leftover smoothie in a tightly sealed jar in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Shake well before serving again.
- Substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar for a different sweetener.
Pairings and Complements:
