The Perfect Strawberry Smoothie

I know, I know.  The title seems pretty dramatic: The Perfect Strawberry Smoothie.  You may ask yourself, how could she possibly know how to make the perfect strawberry smoothie?  Well, let me tell you.  I've been making smoothies on a regular basis for around 3 years now.  Of all the smoothies I've made (apple cinnamon, blueberry, pumpkin pie, etc.) strawberry is by far my favorite.  I've looked at many recipes on Pinterest with varying ingredient amounts and I've been playing around with the ratios of different ingredients ever since.  I usually just eyeball the amount I put in the smoothie, but today I measured it out so that everyone can enjoy the perfect fluffy strawberry smoothie that I've discovered.

The Perfect Strawberry Smoothie

makes ~3 servings

You'll need:
2 cups frozen strawberries
1 1/2 cups milk
1 1/2 Tbsp. plain yogurt
1 Tbsp. huckleberry honey

These are the ingredients I use.

The Perfect Strawberry Smoothie.

Get out a food processor or high power blender.  Put all of the ingredients in, in the order they are listed.  (It's important to put the honey in last, if you don't it will stick to the bottom of the processor and not mix in.)  Cover the processor (if your lid doesn't seal tightly I highly suggest covering it with a small towel as the milk is sure to spray everywhere).  Blend on high for 1 minute.  You'll want to do the full minute so that it blends some air in and gives it that extra fluffiness.  Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately.

I usually make too much of this recipe, since only Ethan and I are around to have some, that leaves 1 extra serving.  I store mine in a jar in the fridge; it'll be good for 2-3 days.  Make sure you shake it up before you drink it though because the fruit juices tend to separate out into a bottom layer.

Note: If you like denser smoothies then use less milk; if you like liquid-ier smoothies then use more milk.  Just figure out what ratio is your favorite.

Who can guess what this is?
