How to Make a Strawberry Banana Smoothie

This is the summary version; see the recipe card below for the complete list of ingredients and the instructions.

It does not get much easier than this. Add the strawberries, banana, milk, yogurt, and honey to the blender. Blend on high until smooth. Pour into glasses, garnish with fresh strawberries or bananas, and serve. Remember that smoothies are best served right away, so plan accordingly.

Do I Have to Use Frozen Strawberries?

No, you do not! Although strawberries are frozen at their peak, using frozen fruit in smoothies eliminates the need for ice. Ice is easy to crush in the blender, but it dilutes the scrumptious flavors of the fruit. That said, you can still use fresh strawberries and a frozen banana or ice cubes, which will be delicious.

Recipe Variations

Add one or more of these ingredients for added flavor and texture:

• Protein: vanilla protein powder, spinach, kale, ground flaxseed, and oats
• Fruit: blueberry, blackberry, raspberries, mango, peaches, and pineapple
• Yogurt: instead of Greek yogurt, try vanilla cow’s milk yogurt, almond yogurt, or soy yogurt
• More add-ins: chia seeds, a pinch of cinnamon, ginger or nutmeg, orange or lemon zest

So even if life has you moving at a hundred miles an hour, you still want your family to have plenty of good-tasting, nutritious food! Put the ingredients for this smoothie on your grocery list, and make yourself and your family an awesome treat!
