How to make yogurt smoothie

Step 1: Chop the fruit

 For this smoothie you need a total of 1 cup of fruit. Slice a banana and chop strawberries so that you have a pile of fruit that adds up to a cup.

• If you like a strong banana flavor with a hint of strawberries, plan on using more banana; if you prefer a lighter smoothie with a little banana flavor, go heavier on the strawberries instead.^[1]
• You can freeze the strawberries and banana beforehand for an icier smoothie.

Step 2: Choose a sweetener

 Strawberries and bananas may be sweet enough for you by themselves, but some people like a little extra sweetness. You can add a teaspoon of regular sugar or go with honey or agave nectar for a delicious flavor.

Step 3:Decide what type of yogurt to use

You need a cup of plain, vanilla-flavored, or other fruity-flavored yogurt, depending on your preference. Get either whole milk or skim milk yogurt. The more fat the yogurt has, the thicker and richer the smoothie will taste.

Step 4:Blend the ingredients

 Place the yogurt, the fruit, and the sweetener in a blender or food processor. Blend the ingredients until they are fully incorporated and no large chunks of fruit remain.

• Check out the texture of the smoothie. If you want to thin it out, add a few tablespoons of milk and continue blending.
• You can add some ice cubes to cool the smoothie down and give it an icier texture.

Step 5:Serve the smoothie

 Pour it into a glass so you can see its pretty pink color. Drink Strawberry Banana Yogurt Smoothie immediately.
