Strawberries and Cream Smoothie

By sassy47

Ingredients

• Makes 1 generous smoothie, about 8 to 10 ounces
• 1 to 1 1/2 cups frozen strawberries (big handful)
• 1/4 cup + cream (half and half, milk, coconut milk cream, soy cream, etc.)
• sweetenter, to taste (sugar, stevia, agave, etc.)

Preparation

Step 1

Put all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth and creamy. Depending on how many strawberries you used, their size, your blender, and your desired smoothie thickness and consistency, you may need more than 1/4 cup cream (I used about 1/2 cup), or add a splash of water, to reach desired consistency. Serve immediately or place any leftover portion in the freezer for later consumption. The smoothie does not change consistency and taste is not effected upon thawing.

If you use fresh berries rather than frozen, the smoothie will not be very cold unless you add ice, which will water it down. Use frozen berries if possible, or toss fresh berries into the freezer for even an hour before making this for better results.
Make this as an “ice cream” or frozen treat. Pour blended mixture into a bowl, freeze until almost solid, and serve.
Make popsicles with it. Use paper dixie cups or ice cube trays and toothpicks or wooden grill skewers as the stick if you don’t have popsicle molds.
Add rum (and a squirt of lime juice if you have it) for strawberry daiquiris, or Malibu, Citron, Gran Marnier
