Method

Smoothie Base

1

Prepare fruit

Wash and hull the strawberries. Slice larger strawberries in half. Peel the banana and break it into chunks so it blends evenly.

2

Add creamy elements

Place the strawberries, banana, and Greek yogurt into the blender jar. Add the honey (or maple syrup) and ground flaxseed if using.

Liquid

3

Pour in 1 cup of the chosen liquid. Use whole milk for a richer texture, water for a lighter option, or almond milk as the +$1.50 substitution. If you want a thinner smoothie, add an extra 2–4 tablespoons (30–60 ml).

Ice & Blend

4

Add the ice cubes to the blender. Secure the lid and blend on high for 45–60 seconds, or until the mixture is completely smooth and evenly combined. Stop and scrape down the sides if needed, then blend another 10–15 seconds.

5

Check consistency and sweetness. If too thick, add up to 1/4 cup (60 ml) more liquid and pulse to combine. If not sweet enough, add an extra 1/2 teaspoon honey or maple syrup and blend briefly.

6

Pour the smoothie into a glass. Sprinkle chia seeds on top if using and serve immediately.
