Strawberry Banana Smoothie

This strawberry banana smoothie is a go-to in my kitchen—just a few simple ingredients and ready in minutes. I use fresh bananas and frozen strawberries. They’re easy to keep on hand, and the frozen berries keep the smoothie thick and creamy without needing ice, which can water it down.

A little honey or maple syrup adds the right amount of sweetness, and you can use any milk you have—dairy, oat, almond, or whatever’s in the fridge. I’ll sometimes add a scoop of protein powder to make it more filling. Whether it’s breakfast or a quick afternoon snack, this strawberry banana smoothie always hits the spot.

What You’ll Need To Make strawberry banana smoothies

• Banana: Adds natural sweetness and creaminess—frozen or fresh both work well.
• Frozen Strawberries: Bring that classic berry flavor and help make the smoothie nice and thick. If you’re using fresh strawberries, reduce the milk to ¼ cup; you’ll also need to add a handful of ice cubes to chill the smoothie.
• Greek Yogurt: Makes the smoothie creamy and adds a boost of protein. Any kind works, so use what you have.
• Milk: Loosens things up so it blends smoothly—use any variety you like.
• Honey: Just a touch of sweetness to balance the berries. Maple syrup works too.

Step-By-Step Instructions

Toss the banana, strawberries, yogurt, milk, and honey into a blender. (If your blender struggles with frozen fruit, let the strawberries sit out for 5 minutes before blending.) Blend on high until smooth and creamy. Give it a taste—add a little more honey if you want it sweeter. The sweetness will vary depending on how ripe your banana is—riper bananas are naturally sweeter. If it’s too thick, splash in a bit more milk and blend again. Pour into a glass and enjoy right away.
