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