I am not a fan of yogurt (honestly I think the stuff is nasty) so I never use it in my smoothies. If I want to add a little creaminess to the smoothie I add a bit of cream or milk. Here are a few recipes I have that use strawberries. Also, if you don't want to use ice use frozen fruits or put any fresh fruits in the freezer for a few hours (you may have to reduce the amount of liquid you use if you do frozen fruit so the smoothie wont be to runny)
Strawberry-Orange Juice Smoothie (2 servings)
INGREDIENTS
1 cup chopped fresh strawberries
1 cup orange juice
10 cubes ice
1 tablespoon sugar
DIRECTIONS
In a blender, combine strawberries, orange juice, ice cubes and sugar. Blend until smooth. Pour into glasses and serve
Basic Fruit Smoothie (4 servings)
INGREDIENTS
3 cups strawberries
1 banana, broken into chunks
2 peaches
1 cup orange,peach or mango juice
2 cups ice
DIRECTIONS
In a blender, combine strawberries, banana and peaches. Blend until fruit is pureed. Blend in the juice. Add ice and blend to desired consistency. Pour into glasses and serve.

I think the recipe your sister gave you sounds good, minus the apple sauce--I'd use an actual apple. Or, just leave the apple out and use the bananas as a base. I typically make "smoothies" (with quotes since most people don't consider a smoothie to be one without milk/yoghurt) with fruit, fruit, and ice. No milk, no ice cream, no dairy, no nothin' else. As far as amounts, I'd probably do a cup or so of strawberries, one or two bananas, five or six ice cubes... But I make 32oz smoothies typically--Don't know how much you want!

Somehow I can't imagine a smoothie without yogurt, but here's a recipe I used to make a long time ago:
Fresh berries
powdered milk
honey
ice cubes
sparkling water
If you prefer, forego the powdered milk and you'll have more of a sorbet type of smoothie.

I never use yogurt in smoothies. Just don't put it in. I use a banana to make the smoothie creamy. You can dump whatever you want in a blender and it will usually come out alright, as long as you use some fresh fruit, some liquid like a juice of some kind, and some crushed ice or cubes if your blender will chop them up ok. You can put milk in, also.

I got this recipe and vowed I would never forget it as it was soooo nice
Per serving
1 small banana
5-7 strawberries
100mls apple juice
A few ice cubes if you like
Blend all ingredients together stick in a glass and enjoy. For some reason it tastes best when you drink through a straw!

Its one of our favorites!
8oz oj or apple juice (we like the oj best)
6oz non flavored yogurt aka plain yogurt
1/2 cup strawberries (frozen are best)
2-3 ice cubes (for extra frostiness)
one banana
Throw it into a blender and voila a strawberry smoothie.
This can be altered and ingredients added or taken away to change the flavor of your smoothies.
I like adding a banana to all my smoothies for the potassium.
Enjoy!
This is usually good for 2-3 servings, they are not huge but they hit the spot.

I make strawberry smooties using frozen strawberries, either apple juice or orange juice and I mix them up in my magic bullet/blender. When the kids will be having some I add a little and I mean LITTLE bit of sugar. The kids love it. Great tasting and filling. great for an afternoon/afterschool snack type drink.
