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:

  1. Pour the whole milk into the bottom of the blender. Note: Always start with liquid to lubricate the blades and prevent stalling.
  2. Add the Greek yogurt directly onto the milk. Watch for the yogurt to settle into the liquid base.
  3. 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.
  4. Sprinkle the chia seeds over the yogurt. Wait 30 seconds to let them begin hydrating.
  5. Layer the frozen strawberries on top of the soft ingredients. Note: The weight of the berries helps push everything toward the blades.
  6. Pulse three times to break up the largest strawberry chunks. Listen for the heavy thuds to subside.
  7. Switch to high speed and blend for 45 seconds. Observe the vortex forming in the center of the jar.
  8. Check the consistency by stopping the blender and lifting the lid. Look for a smooth, matte finish without visible berry chunks.
  9. Pour into chilled glasses immediately. Notice the thick, slow pour as the mixture fills the glass.
