Add Liquids First: Pour the milk, Greek yoghurt, and vanilla extract into the base of your blender jug. This helps prevent the frozen fruit from getting stuck under the blades.

Add Frozen Fruit: Add the frozen banana slices and frozen strawberries on top of the liquids.

Start Blending: Secure the lid and start blending on a low speed for about 15-20 seconds to break up the large pieces of fruit.

Increase Speed: Gradually increase the blender speed to high and blend for a further 45-60 seconds. You may need to use the blender's tamper to push the ingredients down towards the blades or stop and scrape down the sides with a spatula once or twice.

Check Consistency: Continue blending until the mixture is completely smooth, thick, and has a texture similar to soft-serve ice cream. I find that it’s ready when you see a vortex form in the centre. If it’s too thick for your blender to handle, add another tablespoon of milk.

Taste and Adjust: Give it a quick taste. If you feel it needs a little more sweetness, add your honey or maple syrup now and blend for another 5 seconds to combine.

Serve Immediately: Pour the thick smoothie mixture into a shallow bowl, using a spatula to get every last bit out.

Decorate with Toppings: Arrange your fresh strawberry slices, banana slices, granola, chia seeds, coconut flakes, and a drizzle of almond butter on top. Get creative with the design!

Enjoy: Serve straight away with a spoon and enjoy the creamy, fruity goodness.
