Instructions
- Add the milk to a high-speed blender.
- Add the frozen strawberries, vanilla yogurt, and vanilla extract to the blender.
- Add the ice cubes and fine sea salt.
- Blend on low for 10 seconds, then increase to high and blend for 35–50 seconds until completely smooth.
- Check consistency. If too thick, blend in 1–2 tablespoons additional milk. If too thin, add a few extra ice cubes or frozen fruit.
- Pour into a 16-ounce glass and serve immediately.
Tips
- Use vanilla yogurt to add a creamy, cake-like flavor that complements the strawberries. Substituting Greek yogurt will create a thicker smoothie.
