Start by rinsing your cup of strawberries under cold water, removing the green tops, and slicing them in half for easier blending.

In the blender, add the fresh strawberries, yogurt, and pitted dates. If you'd like an extra touch of sweetness, drizzle in the optional honey.

Blend the mixture on medium-high speed for about 30-45 seconds until smooth.

Once blended, pour the smoothie into a glass and garnish with a fresh strawberry slice.
