Print Recipe

A cool and tangy frozen smoothie mocktail blending sweet strawberries with tart rhubarb syrup, creamy Greek yogurt, and a hint of lemon. Perfect for refreshing summer sips without alcohol.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
  • 1 cup chopped rhubarb (for syrup)
  • ½ cup sugar (for syrup)
  • ½ cup water (for syrup)
  • ¼ cup rhubarb syrup (cooled)
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup ice cubes
  • 1–2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Make the Rhubarb Syrup: Combine 1 cup chopped rhubarb, ½ cup sugar, and ½ cup water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the rhubarb breaks down and the mixture thickens slightly (about 10-12 minutes). Remove from heat and strain through a fine mesh sieve to discard solids. Let cool.
  2. Prep the Fruit: Hull and halve 1 cup of fresh strawberries. If using frozen, thaw slightly for easier blending.
  3. Blend the Smoothie: In a blender, combine ¼ cup cooled rhubarb syrup, strawberries, ½ cup plain Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, 1-2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional), and 1 cup ice cubes.
  4. Pulse Until Smooth: Blend on high for about 45 seconds or until smooth and slushy. Adjust thickness by adding water or more ice as needed.
  5. Taste and Adjust: Check sweetness and tartness. Add more honey or lemon juice if desired, then blend briefly again.
  6. Serve Immediately: Pour into chilled glasses, garnish with fresh mint leaves, and enjoy.

Notes

Use frozen strawberries for a thicker, colder smoothie. Adjust sweetness to taste. Fresh lemon juice is preferred over bottled for best flavor. Store leftovers in the refrigerator up to 24 hours and stir or re-blend before serving. Avoid freezing the blended drink to maintain texture.
