Banana and Strawberry Delight Recipe Walkthrough

Start by washing your strawberries. It's always good to give them a gentle rinse to remove any dirt or pesticides. Once clean, hull them by removing the green tops. This step is quick and sets the stage for a vibrant smoothie.

Next, grab your banana. Peel it and slice it into chunks. It doesn't have to be perfect; just small enough to blend easily.

Now, toss the prepared strawberries and banana slices into your blender. Add the Greek yogurt for that creamy texture we all love.

Pour in the milk of your choice, followed by a tablespoon of honey. This is where you can adjust the sweetness to your liking.

Finally, add the ice cubes. This step is crucial for that refreshing chill. Blend everything until smooth, which usually takes about 30 seconds to a minute.

Pour the mixture into your favorite glasses and serve immediately. Enjoy the fresh and delightful flavors!
