Make Delicious Strawberry Smoothies

Want to make delicious, nutrious strawberry smoothies, perfect for the summer months? Read on!

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

a blender
ice
strawberries (or any kind of berry)
yogurt
banana
sugar

Step 1

Smoothies are the perfect summer treat. You can be infinitely creative when it comes to smoothie-creation. They have a range of properties; they can resemble a desert or a protein shake! Here is a recipe for something more in between!
Step 2

Put 1/2 cup of ice in the blender, along with 1 cup strawberries, 1/4 milk or soymilk, and 1/2 cup vanilla icecream or nonfat yogurt. Icecream obviously has more fat, so if you want something healthier use yogurt (it's just as delicious in my opinion!). Add 1/2 cup sugar (or less if you prefer), and blend!
Step 3

Strawberries are particularly delicious, but any berry will do! All berries are high in vitamin C and antioxidants. If you want more of a filling snack, add 1/4 more milk/soymilk and a banana.
Step 4

Blend up smoothie on high speed for about 2 minutes. Can be stored in fridge for about 3 days. Enjoy!

on 8/13/2009 My kids and I made this today. We doubled the recipe (except we used half the sugar and used strawberry yogurt instead of plain.) I think next time we'll leave out the sugar alltogether and maybe even add a banana! WONDERFULLY DELICIOUS!
