Strawberry Smoothie

A bright, healthy drink you can make in 5 minutes. A refreshing, nourishing summer berry smoothie built on yogurt and ice cream. Besides strawberries, you can use any berries or fruit you like. You can use plain yogurt with no additives too, but to play up the flavor of your chosen fruit or berries, it's better to pick a yogurt with the same flavor.

Step 1:

Gather the ingredients. To make a strawberry smoothie, you'll need: ripe, juicy, fragrant strawberries; strawberry yogurt; vanilla ice cream; and powdered sugar (optional).
Step 2:

Wash and dry the strawberries. Remove the stems. Halve any large berries.
Step 3:

Put the strawberries in a blender and purée them.
Step 4:

Add powdered sugar to the strawberry purée. Generally, smoothies are considered a diet drink, so sugar and its derivatives aren't usually added. But my strawberries were completely flavorless, so I added a little powdered sugar.
Step 5:

Pour in the strawberry yogurt.
Step 6:

And add the strawberry ice cream.
Step 7:

Blend again until smooth.
Step 8:

Pour the smoothie into glasses and serve.

"Smoothie" means smooth, even, mellow. This drink came to us from the USA, and there in turn from Brazil. The tradition of puréeing fruit into tasty cold drinks existed in many countries, especially those with tropical climates. A smoothie is a tasty, healthy, light, yet filling drink. Making them has become quite trendy. It resembles drinkable yogurt but is thicker than usual. It first appeared in so-called Juice Bars in 1920. At first smoothies were drunk only freshly made, but later they began appearing in stores and gradually gained huge popularity in many countries. Today the smoothie is a symbol of people who care about their health. Many health-food restaurants offer fruit smoothies. The drink can include soy milk, herbal teas, dried algae, and other healthy add-ins. Healthy smoothies are easy to make at home once you've learned a few simple rules. Smoothies are often made from frozen fruit - frozen pineapple, mango, or banana are perfect, so you'll always have the ingredients on hand in the freezer. People sometimes suggest adding ice when blending a smoothie, but it's better not to: ice adds wateriness and dilutes the fruity aroma. Use a few pieces of frozen fruit instead. Water is rarely added to smoothies - it's better to use one of your favorite juices instead. Don't add sugar to a smoothie; at best, use ripe, sweet fruit. Instead of milk, it's better to use plain yogurt as a thickener - a smoothie is not a milkshake! And if you do use milk, don't mix it with citrus!
