That's when I whipped out my mini smoothie maker. It's been a while since I've used it.
It's about the same size as the magic bullet. I love it since it doesn't take up much space and it's super easy to clean.
Simple Strawberry Smoothie
Prep Time: 10 min
Ingredients:
1 cup strawberries (3/4 cup to 1 cup)
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup crushed ice (unless you have a heavy duty blender in which case it doesn't matter)
2 Tbsp honey
Directions:
Remove the stems of the strawberries. Placed the strawberries in. Add the milk. Pulse.
Add crushed ice and pulse it. If the consistency of your smoothie is too watery, add more crushed ice and pulse again.
Lastly, add the honey (or sugar). I like to do one tablespoon at a time. Sweetness is really to taste. You can always put more but you can't take out the sweetness if you go overboard.
ENJOY!!!
*Notes:
1) If you want a thicker smoothie, you can add a half cup of yogurt or ice cream.
2) You can make substitute the strawberries with whatever fruit you have on hand. Make a banana smoothie or mango smoothie or _____.
3) I highly recommend that you buy a mini blender. They are so useful!! You can also mince garlic quickly by pulsing it too. Easy clean up is huge plus!!
