Strawberry Smoothies

In this post I will be showing you how to make these easy, delicious strawberry smoothies.

Step 1:
The first thing I did was get some strawberries out of my garden. You can get them from the shop as well obviously but I always find home grown ones the best:)!
I took off their stalks and washed them thoroughly under the cold tap. 

Step 2: 
I got out my blender and started chopping fifteen of the strawberries in half. They only filled about three inches from the bottom of the blender but that is enough if you want two glasses of smoothie.

Step 3:
I then put in two cups (sixteen tablespoons) of milk to make the smoothie not as thick.

 Step 4:
After that, I added three scoops of vanilla ice cream which gave it a refreshing taste. It also made the smoothies creamier and cool. If you don't want to add ice cream then plain or vanilla yoghurt is great as well.

Step 5:
Once it is all in the blender, I added a few ice cubes. You don't have to add ice cubes of course, they don't effect the texture or taste. Then you press the go button and watch it turn to a perfect smoothie.

After it has been whizzed for a few minutes and you can see all the lumps and bits are out, you can pour it into two glasses. You may have a bit left so you can store it in the fridge for later. I added a strawberry slotted onto the side of the glass just to top off the image. You can also add ice cubes into it or a straw, your choice. Now you can enjoy your delicious strawberry smoothie. Down below are the pictures of my finished smoothies.

Maybe next time you can try out some different flavours like banana or strawberry and kiwi. Smoothies are a great way of experimenting flavours because they are quick and easy and don't take along time to clear away afterwards:). Hope you enjoy your smoothies and have fun making them:)
