Frozen strawberries help create that smoothie shop texture.
If you like it sweeter, adjust sweetness with more honey and blend for a couple more seconds.
If using fresh strawberries, add 1 cup of ice before blending.
You can substitute Greek yogurt for cottage cheese if preferred.
Best enjoyed immediately.
