Ingredients:
- 1 cup (225g) Greek yogurt, plain or vanilla
- 0.5 cup (120ml) whole milk
- 1 tablespoon (21g) honey
- 2 cups (300g) frozen strawberries
- 1 teaspoon (5g) chia seeds
- 0.25 teaspoon (1g) vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Pour the whole milk into the bottom of the blender. Note: Always start with liquid to lubricate the blades and prevent stalling.
- Add the Greek yogurt directly onto the milk. Watch for the yogurt to settle into the liquid base.
- Drizzle in the honey and add the vanilla extract. Note: Adding honey now ensures it doesn't just stick to the frozen fruit and clump up.
- Sprinkle the chia seeds over the yogurt. Wait 30 seconds to let them begin hydrating.
- Layer the frozen strawberries on top of the soft ingredients. Note: The weight of the berries helps push everything toward the blades.
- Pulse three times to break up the largest strawberry chunks. Listen for the heavy thuds to subside.
- Switch to high speed and blend for 45 seconds. Observe the vortex forming in the center of the jar.
- Check the consistency by stopping the blender and lifting the lid. Look for a smooth, matte finish without visible berry chunks.
- Pour into chilled glasses immediately. Notice the thick, slow pour as the mixture fills the glass.
