Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup frozen strawberries (preferably sliced, about 150g / 5.3 oz)
- 1/2 cup frozen raspberries (about 70g / 2.5 oz)
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (recommend Fage Total for creaminess)
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice, 120 ml / 4 fl oz)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Fresh strawberries, sliced thinly and cut into heart shapes with a small cookie cutter
- Fresh blueberries or raspberries for contrast
- Chia seeds or granola for crunch (optional)
Instructions
- Rinse fresh strawberries and blueberries under cold water. Pat dry carefully with a paper towel. Using the small cookie cutter, gently press into each strawberry slice to create heart shapes. Set aside the berry hearts and some whole berries for garnish. (About 10 minutes)
- In your blender, combine frozen strawberries, frozen raspberries, Greek yogurt, almond milk, honey, and vanilla extract. Blend on high for about 1-2 minutes until smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash more almond milk. (About 3 minutes)
- Stop blending and taste the smoothie. Adjust sweetness with a little more honey if desired. The texture should be thick enough to hold toppings but smooth enough to spoon easily. (Quick taste test, 1 minute)
- Spoon the smoothie mixture into a serving bowl. Arrange the berry hearts on top in a pattern or scattered naturally. Add blueberries or raspberries around for color contrast. Sprinkle chia seeds or granola if using for texture. (5 minutes)
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor. If you must wait, keep refrigerated but consume within 2 hours for peak freshness.
Notes
If smoothie is too runny, freeze for 10-15 minutes before serving to thicken. Use fresh ripe strawberries for cutting heart shapes to avoid mushiness. Can substitute Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt and almond milk with oat milk for a vegan version. Adjust honey to taste and omit for children under one year old.
