Creamy strawberry smoothie

The secret of a perfect smoothie is emulsion and texture. It's not just fruit purée: yoghurt proteins and fats help cream the acidic fruit juice, while frozen fruit or ice ensures a thick, creamy consistency without watering down the drink.

Instructions

1

Put the strawberries, yoghurt, honey, and milk into the blender. If using fresh strawberries, throw in the ice too.

Tip: It's worth pouring the liquid (milk) in at the bottom so the blades catch the solid pieces more easily and a vortex forms.
2

Blend on high speed for 30-45 seconds until completely smooth and uniform.

Tip: High-speed blending introduces air into the mixture, making the drink frothier, lighter, and feeling 'creamier'.
3

Pour into a glass and drink immediately, perhaps garnish with a strawberry.

Tip: It tastes best cold, as the low temperature dulls acidity and is refreshing.

Recipe FAQ

Why did my drink separate?
If you leave it to stand, the fibre and liquid naturally separate (sedimentation). Stir it up again before drinking!
