Wash the strawberries thoroughly under cold water. Remove the green tops (hull) and slice them into halves or quarters for easier blending.

Peel the bananas and slice them into smaller pieces to help them blend more easily.

In a blender, combine the sliced strawberries, sliced bananas, plain yogurt, milk, honey (if using), and vanilla extract.

Add the ice cubes to the blender. This will help create a refreshing, chilled texture.

Blend on high speed for about 30-45 seconds, or until all ingredients are smooth and creamy. Stop the blender and scrape down the sides if necessary to ensure everything is well mixed.

Once blended, taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness if necessary by adding more honey.

Pour the smoothie into serving glasses and enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture.
