Ingredients:
– 1 cup of your choice of frozen fruits (such as strawberries, blueberries, mango, or a mix)
– 1 banana, peeled and sliced
– 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt
– 1/2 cup of milk (can substitute with almond milk or coconut water for a dairy-free option)
– 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup (optional, for added sweetness)
– Ice cubes

Instructions:
1. Start by preparing your chosen frozen fruits. If you’re using fresh fruit, wash and chop them before freezing overnight. This helps create a thick and creamy smoothie texture.
2. In a blender, add the frozen fruits, sliced banana, Greek yogurt, and milk. For a creamier texture, you can increase the amount of yogurt or add a scoop of protein powder.
3. If you like your smoothie on the sweeter side, drizzle in the honey or maple syrup.
4. Top it off with a handful of ice cubes to make your smoothie extra frosty. The ice also helps to keep the drink cool on warm days.
5. Blend all the ingredients together until smooth and creamy. If the mixture seems too thick, you can add a splash more milk to reach your desired consistency.
6. Pour the smoothie into a chilled glass and garnish with a slice of fruit or a sprig of mint for a touch of elegance.
7. Sip and enjoy your homemade Fruit Smoothie!

Variations:
– Tropical Twist: Swap the berries for a mix of pineapple and kiwi for a taste of the tropics. Add a splash of coconut milk for a creamy finish.
– Green Goddess: Boost your smoothie with a handful of spinach or kale for added nutrients. You won’t even taste the greens with the flavorful fruits.
– Citrus Burst: Blend together orange slices, a splash of lime juice, and a dollop of vanilla yogurt for a zesty and refreshing drink.
