Smoothie Base

1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled

1/2 cups banana, ripe (broken into pieces)

1/2 cups plain yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt if preferred)

1 tbs honey or maple syrup

3 cups ice cubes

Liquid Options

1/2 cups whole milk (default)

1/2 cups almond milk (optional, +$1.50)

Optional Add-ins

1 tsp chia seeds

1/4 tsp Watkins vanilla extract

1 scoop protein powder

Garnish

1 to taste strawberry slice

1 to taste mint leaf

Method

Smoothie Base

Prepare fruit

Hull and quarter the fresh strawberries. Peel and break the banana into pieces so it blends evenly.

Combine solids

Place the strawberries, banana pieces, plain yogurt, and honey (or maple syrup) into a blender.

Add 3 ice cubes to the blender to create a chilled, slightly thick texture. If you want a thinner consistency skip one ice cube.

Liquid Options

Pour in 1/2 cup of your chosen liquid. Use whole milk for a creamy default. If the customer requests almond milk (+$1.50), use 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk instead. If you prefer a thinner smoothie, add up to another 1/4 cup of liquid.

Optional Add-ins

If using add-ins, add them now: 1 tsp chia seeds for extra fiber, 1/4 tsp vanilla extract for depth, or 1 scoop protein powder for added protein. These are optional and should be added to the blender with the base ingredients.

Blend & Serve

Secure the blender lid and blend on high for 30–60 seconds, or until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined. Stop and scrape down the sides with a spatula if needed, then blend another 10–15 seconds.

Taste and adjust sweetness. Add an extra 1/2 tbs honey or a splash of almond milk if needed, then pulse briefly to combine.

Pour the smoothie into a chilled glass. Garnish with a strawberry slice and a mint leaf on the rim. Serve immediately with a straw.
