How to Make a Strawberry Smoothie

If you’re new to making smoothies, no fear, it’s about as simple as it can get. We always like to remind our readers that using a high-speed blender is in your best interest and we recommend either a Vitamix or Kitchen Ninja. There is nothing worse than having chunks of spinach in your green smoothie…amiright?!

Strawberry Smoothie Ingredients

We went back and forth whether or not to use yogurt in this recipe and at the end of the day, a strawberry smoothie with yogurt is just better than one without! It adds a bit of a tang and extra protein. We also tested this recipe with different kinds of liquid such as almond milk, normal cow’s milk, and water and orange juice won over and over again. Here’s what you need in order to make the best strawberry smoothie recipe:

Frozen strawberries- we used frozen strawberries, but fresh will work as well. We prefer frozen strawberries so that you don’t have to use any ice!
Banana- either a fresh or frozen banana will work for this recipe!
Greek yogurt- feel free to use any kind you wish. We went with a nonfat plain Greek yogurt because it’s packed with protein and lower in calories.
Orange Juice: when picking out an orange juice for this recipe, we recommend a no-added sugar, 100% orange juice. If you’re not an OJ fan, feel free to use any kind of milk or even water!

Instructions

What I love about smoothies is that it takes no time to make them! So, if you’re in a rush smoothies are a great option for you in the morning.

To make this delicious strawberry banana yogurt smoothie, all you have to do is place everything into your high-speed blender and blend on high until smooth. You can either serve as is OR add a little bit more liquid to thin things out a bit. This is also the point where you can choose to add whatever else you want to your smoothie.
