Ingredients
- 2 cups rhubarb stalks
- 1 cup strawberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1 banana (ripe)
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 cup milk (or plant-based alternative)
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for sweetness)
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup ice cubes
Directions
Step 1
Trim and dice the rhubarb stalks into small pieces. Measure out 2 cups.
Step 2
In a small saucepan, add the diced rhubarb and enough water to just cover the pieces. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the rhubarb is soft and slightly broken down.
Step 3
Drain the rhubarb and let it cool for a few minutes.
Step 4
In a blender, combine the cooked rhubarb, strawberries, banana, Greek yogurt, milk, honey (if using), vanilla extract, and ice cubes.
Step 5
Blend on high until smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides if necessary.
Step 6
Taste the smoothie and adjust the sweetness as needed by adding more honey, or balance out the flavors with extra milk for a thinner consistency.
Step 7
Pour the smoothie into two glasses and serve immediately.
