On hot summer days, few things beat sitting out on the porch with a thick, frosty smoothie bursting with the flavours of the season’s best fruit.

For whatever reason, strawberries have always been a huge “Summer nostalgia” thing for me. They remind me of little kids’ fingers and strawberry-tinted cheeks, of summer nights with fireflies, and of Independence Day celebrations. They remind me of strawberry jams and pies, rhubarb, and ice cream. Also, they’re pretty… And if you know me, you’ll know that I kind of have a thing for pretty food.

This particular recipe is a blend of lots of good things – frostiness, fruitiness, prettiness, and easy-ness. This recipe is only 4 ingredients, packed with flavour, and as pretty and colourful as can be. You can make it thick or on the thinner side (see the recipe notes), and you can make it vegan by using coconut milk in place of the yogurt if you prefer.

If you make this recipe, take a picture and hashtag #naomicakes on Instagram or Facebook. I’d love to know that this is being enjoyed!
