This is the smoothie of my dreams, and I have to have it every night or I shrivel up into a mere shell of a human. One of the best things about it: the only thing you dirty is the blender and the glass you drink it from. No chopping involved! And no ice involved—my blender can’t handle it.
Toss everything in your blender. Take a leap of faith and use the half-and-half instead of the milk (then tell yourself it’s just this once). Blend! Drink.
If you don’t like your smoothies so thick, just add more milk. If you like them fruitier, just add more strawberries. If you want to exponentially add decadence, spoon in some vanilla ice cream. Switch up the fruit selection, the flavor of yoghurt you use—it’s versatile! This really is the easiest thing you’ll ever make.
2 ways to increase the deliciousness:
1. Heat up 2 frozen strawberries in the microwave for about 1 1/2 minutes. This will turn them into a schmushy, liquidy pulp. Put the whole shebang in the blender with the rest. It adds something, it really does.
2. Chop up some chunks/rounds of strawberry and banana, and mix those in at the end. Finding those chunks of fresh fruit as you go is really delightful.

Just got a Ninja Pro–blender and food chopper. This thing will make a smoothie in a heartbeat. I love this recipe–I love smoothies, and this will make soft serve Ice cream, too–just frozen peaches or berries, and half and half with Splenda (or sugar)and vanilla. I’m going to try the frozen bananas, too–it’ll help me keep bananas instead of tossing the too ripe ones away.

Just made it and it’s great! I did add 3 tablespoons of Malted Milk Powder, and it taste just like my mom use to make.

Delicious! I didn’t have a banana and added ice to the blender instead of using the yogurt but still it was great and so easy. Will be making this very often. Thanks!

Just what I’ve been looking for.
I have a giant bag of frozen strawberries and 2 big tobs of plain yogurt. Thanks

Yum! I throw in some mini-chocolate chips as well. Boosts the anti-oxidants, of course. They tend to clog the straw if you use one tho.
