Traditional Strawberry Smoothie

Cut strawberries into small pieces. Although the recipe calls for 10 strawberries, you can use less or more depending on the strawberry size and your smoothie cravings.

To make smoothies easier, you should cut off the stem of the strawberry and continue to cut the strawberry in half.
Remember to use a clean knife and cutting board to cut!

Put the strawberries in the blender. Magic Bullet blender or multi-function blender can be used.

Pour the milk into the blender. 2% milk will make a thick and creamy smoothie, but fat-free milk, soy milk, and almond milk also taste delicious. If milk is not available, you can use yogurt.

Add ice. For a thicker and colder smoothie, you’ll add ice to the blender along with the other ingredients. However, if you want a thicker smoothie (at least in the beginning), you can add ice when you’re done making your smoothie. Decide according to your taste.

Blend until ingredients become liquid. Depending on the power of the blender and the size of the ice cubes, grinding will take anywhere from 15 seconds to a minute. Have a spoon ready to use when you need to stir ingredients at the bottom of the blender. You can also take this opportunity to taste the smoothie.

Add sugar and blend for a few more seconds. If the strawberries are already sweet, you don’t need to add any sweetener. Or, if you want a naturally flavored smoothie, honey is a perfect choice. You better try it to know the taste. If the smoothie is too sweet, you can always add strawberries or milk to adjust!

Pour the smoothie into a glass beaker. Cut a line on half of the strawberry so you can attach it to the rim of the cup for a decorative accent. Add a straw, a small umbrella to decorate the cocktail and you’re done with the smoothie.

It’s better to use a chilled glass – that way, the smoothie won’t thin out too quickly. Have a cup ready in the freezer to use when you suddenly have a sudden craving for a smoothie.

Cut about 10 strawberries in half. Ten strawberries is the right amount to make a smoothie serving, but it’s okay if you use more than that. You can always use double the ingredients for a smoothie to drink! Now you just need to take a cutting board and a knife to start doing it.

Place strawberries and water or fruit juice in a blender. Water will help dilute the smoothie and bring out the flavor of the strawberries, but fruit juice will make your drink extra special – you can add apple, pineapple, mango and even grape or cranberry juice . The flavor of the strawberries will diminish, but your smoothie will be more unique and richer.

Add honey or a teaspoon of sugar. Honey is a natural sugar, but granulated sugar works just as well. However, both of these ingredients are optional! If the strawberries are already sweet, you don’t need to add sugar or honey.

You can always blend the whole ingredients first and then try to see if you need more sugar in the smoothie. Just try one spoon!

Add ice cubes. Both large and small ice cubes are pureed, but the smaller the size, the easier it will be to grind. If you don’t want to add too much ice at once, simply put half of the ice in the blender and add 1 or 2 ice cubes to the finished smoothie to keep it cold.

Another effective way is to freeze the glass – this way, the glass will be like ice, it will make the smoothie cold but not diluted.

Advice

Do not put all the ingredients in the blender at once. Ice cubes will be added last so as not to jam the blender knife.
You can add any fruit if you want, such as mango, banana, orange, etc.
Don’t blend ingredients too long if you want your smoothie to still have bits of fruit instead of a smooth texture.
Vanilla ice cream is perfect to add to a strawberry smoothie because it is both sweet and creamy and makes the perfect combination.
