How to make Yogurt Strawberry Smoothie Recipe

This recipe is so easy to make that it only requires a blender and a few minutes to prepare the ingredients.

When making smoothies with ice cubes and frozen fruits, it is best to add the non-frozen ingredients first. So place the yogurt, whipped topping, strawberries, ice cubes, ginger powder, and ground nutmeg in the blender and blend until smooth and creamy.

The drink should be served immediately to enjoy its cool and natural sweetness.

Why add nutmeg and ginger to smoothies

Many recipes do not have nutmeg or ginger as part of the list of ingredients, and should we add them? The answer is yes unless you don’t like the taste or are allergic to any of them.

Ginger adds flavor to food and has many health benefits. Ginger is a natural anti-inflammatory, improves the immune system, helps with nausea, lowers blood sugar, and has many other health benefits.

Nutmeg adds flavor to food and also has many health benefits. Nutmeg can soothe indigestion, boost skin health, detoxify the body, and has many other health benefits.

These two ingredients are excellent in baked goods and frozen drinks.

Notes and Tips

• The frozen strawberries mixed with the ice cubes will make the smoothie a bit thicker. You can opt to use fresh strawberries instead.
• Use any other fruits if you would like. Blueberries are a great option.
• Add chia seeds or ground flax seeds for a healthier smoothie.
• Storage: place in a container with a lid in the refrigerator for 24 hours or up to a week frozen in the freezer.
• You can also substitute low-fat strawberry yogurt for Greek Yogurt.
