What You Need

5 basic ingredients are all you need for this healthy strawberry banana smoothie!

  • frozen strawberries – we prefer frozen fruit because it will make your smoothie nice and thick! 
  • frozen banana – only have fresh bananas? Check out our tutorial on how to freeze bananas
  • Greek yogurt – we might be biased, but we LOVE Greek yogurt in smoothies. Not only does it add protein, but will make your smoothie so creamy! 
  • vanilla extract – a little vanilla brings out all the flavors.
  • almond milk – really any kind of milk works. Feel free to use oat milk, soy milk, cashew milk, regular milk, or heck, even orange juice!

Do you put ice in a smoothie?

Do you put ice in a smoothie? Short answer NO! When making frozen fruit smoothie recipes like this strawberry banana smoothie, there is no need for ice because of the frozen fruit.

Only have fresh fruit?

If you only have fresh fruit, then you have a couple of options.

  1. Freeze your fruit: strawberries and bananas can easily be frozen. This process will take around 2 hours, but you can follow our frozen banana tutorial. It works the same with strawberries!
  2. Use ice: this would be our last resort suggestion only because ice dilutes your smoothie, however, it is a good option if you only have fresh fruit.

Top 3 Tips for a Perfect Frozen Fruit Smoothie

  1. Use Frozen Fruit: this might be an obvious tip, but make sure to use frozen fruit for your frozen fruit smoothie! The more frozen the better, too.
  2. Start with Less Milk: you can always add more milk. So, if the recipe calls for 1 cup, start with 3/4 cup and add from there. Some people like thicker smoothies and other people like them thinner.
  3. Your Blender Matters: there is nothing worst than a chunky fruit smoothie. So? Make sure to use a high-speed blender that can puree everything together nice and smooth.

Banana is a bit over powering. I would recommend using half a cup if you want more of a strawberry flavor or an even flavor. This recipe is so easy and yummy tho!
