Strawberry Yogurt Smoothie
Ingredients:1 quart (4 cups) ripe strawberries
1 cup plain low-fat yogurt
1/2 cup fresh orange juice
1 tablespoon sugar, or to taste
Garnish (optional)
4 small strawberries with leaves
4 thin round slices of unpeeled orange
Directions:
Rinse and drain the strawberries and place them in a food processor or blender. Add the yogurt, orange juice, and 1 tablespoon sugar. Process on the highest speed until a well-blended puree forms, about 15 seconds, stopping to scrape down the sides of the container once or twice. Taste the mixture and sweeten with a little more sugar, if you wish.
For a very smooth beverage, strain the mixture, using a wooden spoon to push the drink through. Discard the strawberry seeds.
Pour into 4 tall glasses and serve immediately. If you wish to decorate the drinks, slit the strawberries and the orange slices halfway through the centers. Attach one berry and one orange slice to the rim of each glass.
