Ingredients

Yield: 1 large smoothie or 2 small servings

• 1 cup milk of choice (dairy, almond, oat, or soy) 
•  ½ cup freeze-dried strawberries 
  • Check out Plant City Strawberries at Jaks Family Farms
•  ½ cup freeze-dried banana slices
  • Freeze Dried Bananas at Jaks Family Farms
•  ½ cup plain or vanilla yogurt
•  1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
• 4–6 ice cubes
• 2–4 tablespoons additional milk, as needed

Instructions

1. Add the liquid. Pour the milk into your blender first to help the ingredients blend smoothly.
2. Add the freeze-dried strawberries and bananas. Let soak as needed to help rehydrate. 
3. Add the creamy ingredients. Add the yogurt, vanilla extract, and honey if desired.
4. Blend. Blend on high for 45–60 seconds, or until the fruit is completely broken down and the smoothie is creamy.
5. Adjust the consistency. Add more milk if it's too thick. Add the ice and blend again if you want a colder, thicker smoothie. 
6. Serve immediately. Pour into a glass and enjoy!
