Strawberry Banana Smoothie is the perfect blend of creamy, fruity goodness that’s both refreshing and satisfying.
Strawberry Banana Smoothie
My boys swear this Strawberry Banana Smoothie tastes just like their favorite strawberry milkshake from a local ice cream shop. And I’m thrilled about that!
Not only is this smoothie free from ice cream and fake strawberry syrups, but it’s also packed with ingredients I feel good about them drinking!
By using a frozen banana, frozen strawberries, and Greek yogurt, this smoothie becomes super thick and almost like a milkshake.
How to Make Strawberry Banana Smoothies
- Freeze the banana: After shopping, peel and slice the banana, then freeze in bags or containers overnight. A frozen banana makes this smoothie great.
- Measure: Even though it seems like you can just throw the ingredients in, measure them for the right texture.
- Blend: Add all ingredients to a strong blender, and blend until smooth.
Ice In Smoothies?
I don’t use ice in this strawberry banana smoothie recipe because it weakens the flavor. Frozen fruit gives the perfect, milkshake-like thickness without watering it down.
Smoothie Tips
I know, how hard can making a strawberry banana smoothie be, right?! I still have a few tips.
- Ripe bananas are important for the best smoothie. Freeze them when ripe and use only when fully frozen.
- If needed, add honey or maple syrup to sweeten. A ripe banana and flavored Greek yogurt usually make it sweet enough, but taste and adjust if needed.
- Use a good Greek yogurt. My favorite is Greek Gods® honey vanilla yogurt. Go for vanilla or strawberry-flavored yogurt.
Variations
Switch Things Up
- To make this Strawberry Banana Smoothie without yogurt, just leave it out.
- If you want it dairy-free, use apple juice instead of milk. You can also try your favorite dairy-free milk.
- Don’t like bananas? Use frozen mango instead!
- To keep you full longer, add chia, hemp, or flax seeds.
Storage
Extra Strawberry Banana Smoothie?
A smoothie lasts about 8-12 hours in the fridge. Store it in an airtight container, filling it to the top to avoid air exposure.
For this Strawberry Banana Smoothie, it’s best to drink it right after making, as it doesn’t store well.
