Strawberry Smoothie
Malaysia being a country of tropical fruit, fresh fruit strawberries are mostly imported from far away: being quite hard and not too ripe nor very sweet nor very tasteful.
So for this strawberry smoothie recipe, we don’t add any other fruit ingredients to make sure we still taste the authentic strawberry taste! Unlike our previous strawberry banana smoothie, this strawberry smoothie recipe uses only strawberries as fresh fruit ingredient.
If you don’t live next to a strawberry farmer, your best option is choosing the most ripe looking strawberries in a shop and make a strawberry drink the same day!
Another very smart option is buying lots of strawberries and freezing them so they are readily available for making a healthy smoothie drink! A frozen strawberry also makes a cute ice-"cube".

Strawberry smoothie ingredients
Making about 1 pint (500 ml) of fresh fruit strawberry smoothie.
If you want to make bigger quantities in 1 making, we do recommend a separate smoothie blender or smoothie machine 
Otherwise use a mortar and pestle to crush the ice (or put the ice in a towel and beat it fine by smashing the towel on a hard floor) and mix all ingredients with a mixer.
- 8 3/4 ounce (250 gr) strawberry
- 1 1/2 to 2 ounce (45-60 gr) brown (molasses) sugar (about 2 soupspoons: 50gr worked fine with me and the strawberries I bought)
- 5 1/4 ounce (150 gr) ice-cubes
- 6 3/4 fluid ounce (200 ml) water
- (3/4 fluid ounce) juice of half a lemon (20ml)
Strawberry smoothie preparation
- Place all ingredients in the cup of an electric blender, milkshake maker or food processor and blend until smooth. If you only have a mixer, then use a mortar to crush the ice before mixing it.
- This is a cool refreshing smoothie drink, not too thick. Add more sugar, water, ice, strawberries or lemon if needed and blend again.
