Few smoothies are as familiar as this one: ripe strawberries, a good spoonful of yoghurt and cold milk. Half a banana makes it thicker and naturally sweeter.

About this smoothie
Strawberry and yoghurt is one of the most popular smoothie combinations, and for good reason. The berries bring aroma and a slight tartness, the yoghurt adds tang and creaminess, and milk makes it drinkable. Milk and yoghurt supply protein and calcium, strawberries are known for their vitamin C.
It makes a quick breakfast, an after-school drink or a snack after sport. In season use ripe local strawberries; the rest of the year frozen ones work well.
Bartender tips
Greek yoghurt makes it even thicker and creamier.
Taste before adding sweetener: ripe strawberries and banana are usually enough.
Variations
Strawberry Vanilla
Add a few drops of vanilla extract for a dessert-like flavour.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use frozen strawberries?
Yes, and the smoothie gets colder and thicker; let them thaw for 5 minutes if your blender is weak.
Can I make it vegan?
Use soy yoghurt and an oat or soy drink instead of dairy.
Can I leave out the banana?
Yes. Add a few more strawberries and a little honey if it is too tart.
