LAYERED SMOOTHIES
(Makes 2 smoothies)
- 2 cups (280 g) frozen whole strawberries
- 2 cups (450 g) low-fat plain Greek yogurt, divided
- 2 Tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp honey or maple syrup
- Optional: Vanilla oat or almond milk
- 2 ripe frozen small bananas, chopped
- 1 tsp vanilla
- Optional: 1-2 strawberries for garnish
Place the strawberries, 1 cup of Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and sweetener in a high-speed blender. Process until smooth, adding milk if necessary to reach desired consistency – it should be fairly thick.
Scrape out of the blender and into a pitcher or other vessel, and place in the refrigerator to chill.
