Ingredients You’ll Need
- strawberries – the star of this smoothie! Strawberries add natural sweetness, bright flavor, and a boost of vitamin C. You can also use frozen strawberries for a thicker, frostier texture.
- banana – this is what makes this smoothie ultra creamy and naturally sweet. I like to use a frozen banana, but fresh bananas work great too.
- Greek yogurt – this adds creaminess plus a boost of protein to keep you full longer. I like using plain or vanilla Greek yogurt.
- milk – this helps everything blend smoothly. You can use almond milk, oat milk, dairy milk, or whatever type of milk you prefer.
- honey – this is optional, but if you like a sweeter smoothie you can add a little drizzle of honey or maple syrup for extra sweetness.
How to Make a Strawberry Banana Smoothie
- Add ingredients to blender – in a high-powered blender or Nutribullet, add strawberries, banana, Greek yogurt, milk and honey.
- Blend until smooth – blend the ingredients on high until everything is creamy and smooth.
- Adjust consistency – feel free to add more milk if the smoothie is too thick or you can add in some ice if you prefer your smoothie thicker and colder.
- Serve and enjoy – pour the smoothie into glasses and enjoy right away or store in the fridge for later.
Tips for the Best Smoothie
- Use frozen fruit for thickness – frozen strawberries and bananas will give you that thick, milkshake-like texture without watering it down.
- Freeze your bananas – slice and freeze ripe bananas ahead of time for extra creaminess.
- Don’t overdo the liquid – start with less milk and gradually add more, as needed. You can’t take the milk out once added so start small.
- Blend in stages if needed – if using a smaller blender, feel free to blend in stages so that everything gets mixed properly for a perfectly creamy smoothie.
- Use a high-powered blender – this ensures the smoothest, creamiest texture. I really love this Ninja blender and have used mine for years.
Variations
- Protein boost – add in a scoop of protein powder, extra Greek yogurt, protein-packed cottage cheese or even a spoonful of nut butter for a boost of protein.
- Fiber boost – add in a tablespoon of chia seeds, ground flaxseed, rolled oats or throw in extra berries like raspberries for a natural boost of fiber.
- Green smoothie – toss in a handful of fresh spinach leaves or other leafy greens for a boost of nutrition. I promise, you won’t taste it!
- Dairy-free option – swap the Greek yogurt for dairy-free yogurt, use plant-based milk or add half an avocado or more banana for extra creaminess if skipping the yogurt.
- Extra creamy version – add in a splash of coconut milk, mix in an extra banana or avocado for extra creaminess, and use frozen fruit for maximum thickness.
- Tropical twist – throw in some fresh pineapple or mango for natural sweetness and a tropical flavor. You could also use coconut milk, a squeeze of fresh lime juice and top with shredded coconut if making a smoothie bowl.
Prepping and Storage
- To Prep Ahead – store the strawberries and bananas in the freezer in sealed baggies until ready to use. I like to make smoothie packs with pre-portioned fruit in freezer bags for quick blending!
- To Store – smoothies taste best right after blending, but you can store them in mason jars or sealed, airtight containers for 1 to 2 days. I recommend shaking or stirring before drinking as the ingredients can separate as it sits.
- Freeze option – you can also freeze the blended smoothie in ice cube trays to re-blend later!
