Recipe for Strawberry shortcake smoothie
The simplest of yogurt smoothie recipes. The vanilla extract gives welcome boost if you discover that your strawberries aren't the best of the season; for a really luxurious touch use top quality strawberries and a fresh vanilla bean.
Serves 2
1 cup (250g) of natural yogurt or soy yogurt
2 cups of fresh strawberries
1 tsp honey
Half a tsp vanilla extract
A splash of milk or orange juice
Get the strawberries out of the fridge about half an hour before you want to make your smoothie (you will get much more flavour from the fruit by letting it come up to room temperature).
When you are ready to serve, place all of the ingredients into your blender receptacle of choice and blitz until smooth. Use a dash of milk or orange juice if you want to adjust the consistency.
