Smoothies are a sweet treat, and are especially refreshing in the summer. Smoothies use fruit and usually ice and some other liquid base. Milkshakes use milk and ice cream. I did use a dairy base for my smoothie, but you can feel free to use any alternative you’d like. I had recently gone to the store and bought strawberries and bananas, but my strawberries were starting to go bad, so the best option Josh and I had was smoothies, to make a dent in the remaining carton. Josh and I also don’t have an Ice cube tray yet, so we improvised by freezing the fruit instead. You can add more milk if you want a thinner smoothie, but this recipe will make 2 very large and thick smoothies.

1. Place 3 bananas and 1 1/2 cups of strawberries in the freezer, and leave until frozen solid, about 3 hours.
2. Remove the fruit from the freezer. Cut off the banana peel, and slice all 3 bananas. Rinse off the strawberries. Cut off the tops, and half. Place cut fruit into a blender.
3. Add 2 cups of vanilla yogurt into the blender. Add 1 cup of milk, and add the blender lid.
4. Pulse the blender 4-5 times to begin to crush the frozen fruit, then turn the blender on high and blend for 1 minute.
5. Place in large glass and serve with a spoon!
