This strawberry banana smoothie is a delightful and nutritious option for a quick breakfast, a post-workout refresher, or a satisfying snack any time of the day. Feel free to customise the ingredients based on your preferences and dietary needs! Enjoy your homemade blend! 🍓🍌✨

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries  🍓
  • 1 ripe banana  🍌
  • 1/2 cup plain or vanilla yogurt 🥛
  • 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)🥛
  • 1-2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional, for added sweetness) 🍯
  • Ice cubes (if using fresh strawberries) 🧊

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Ingredients:

    • If using fresh strawberries, wash and hull them. Peel the ripe banana and chop it into chunks.
  2. Load the Blender:

    • Place the strawberries, banana chunks, yogurt, and milk into the blender pitcher.
  3. Optional Sweetener:

    • If desired, add honey or maple syrup for extra sweetness.
  4. Blend Until Smooth:

    • Secure the blender lid and start blending on low speed, gradually increasing to high, until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture is smooth. Blend for about 1-2 minutes, ensuring there are no chunks remaining.
  5. Check Consistency:

    • If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash of additional milk and blend again until reaching the desired consistency.
  6. Serve and Enjoy:

    • Pour the refreshing strawberry banana smoothie into glasses. Optionally, garnish with a strawberry slice or a banana slice on the rim of the glass.

 

Tips:

  • For a frostier texture, add a handful of ice cubes to the blender before blending.
  • Experiment with variations by adding a handful of spinach or kale for added nutrition without altering the taste too much.
