Healthy Strawberry Banana Smoothie

• 1 cup strawberries, fresh or frozen
• 1 ripe banana, sliced
• 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, plain or vanilla
• 1 cup almond milk, unsweetened
• 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
• 1/2 cup ice cubes (if using fresh strawberries)

1. Gather all the ingredients: 1 cup of strawberries, 1 sliced ripe banana, 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, 1 cup unsweetened almond milk, 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional), and 1/2 cup ice cubes (if using fresh strawberries).
2. Rinse the strawberries thoroughly and remove the stems. If using fresh strawberries, add them to the blender.
3. Peel the banana, slice it into pieces, and add it to the blender.
4. Add 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt to the blender. You can choose plain for less sweetness or vanilla for extra flavor.
5. Pour in 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk into the blender.
6. If you're opting for additional sweetness, add 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup.
7. If you used fresh strawberries, add 1/2 cup of ice cubes to the blender for a chilled smoothie.
8. Secure the lid on the blender and blend all the ingredients on high speed until smooth and creamy.
9. Check the consistency of the smoothie and, if necessary, blend again until you reach your desired texture.
10. Pour the smoothie into a glass, garnish with a strawberry or a slice of banana if desired, and serve immediately for the best taste.
