Measure all ingredients before blending. If using fresh strawberries, wash and freeze them for about 30 minutes to create a thicker smoothie texture. Slice the banana if it isn’t already frozen.

Pour the almond milk into the blender first, followed by the Greek yogurt. Add the frozen strawberries, banana slices, chia seeds, honey, and vanilla extract. Adding liquid first helps the blender process frozen fruit more smoothly.

Blend the mixture on high speed for 45–60 seconds until the smoothie becomes completely smooth and creamy. If you prefer a thicker smoothie, add ice cubes and blend again briefly.

Pour the smoothie evenly into two glasses. Sprinkle a pinch of chia seeds or sliced strawberries on top for presentation. Serve immediately while cold and creamy.
