Few things today can be healthy and great tasting at the same time. One of the best things you can treat yourself to though that packs both great taste and health benefits. That popular treat is known as a strawberry smoothie and it is a great way to boost your energy and slim your waistline.

Being one of the most loved fruits, strawberries are very delicious and tasty. They can be combined with many different fruits but it also does quite well on it on. To start on your drink you will need to gather all the proper ingredients for the mixture.

You will have to find yourself about six to eight strawberries depending on how much juice you want. Also, get about a half of cup of yogurt which can be any flavor but for this type of smoothie strawberry is the better choice.

To include in the mix you will need a cup of low fat milk which can be skim or nonfat and about a half a cup of regular ice cubes. When you have gathered all the materials you can then blend all you strawberries until it is a creamy mixture. The next thing you will need to do is add the yogurt of your choice which can be unfrozen or regular.

For those that are lactose intolerant you can leave out the milk if you want to and if you want your mix to be less cream you can remove the yogurt if you want. It really does not matter which one you eliminate because neither will take away from the rich taste of the strawberries.

If you are looking for a quick and healthy treat that is also great tasting then strawberry smoothies are a fine choice. You may find it also interesting that you can blend them with other fruits if you want to spice up the mix.
