Easy Strawberry Banana Smoothie Recipe

The first smoothie I ever tried was a strawberry banana smoothie from Robek’s Juice in the Calabasas Commons. I think I was twelve. They were basically the 90’s version of what all the cool kids were doing.

At least in my little LA bubble.

Anyway, much older and wiser, I’ve learned that despite the convenience of these take-away smoothies, they are also incrediblyexpensive. A total rip off. I think the last time my husband, son, and I got smoothies from Jamba Juice for a “snack” we walked out 30 dollars poorer.

If you haven’t already, it’s time to start making your very own delicious smoothies at home. It’s so easy and for a fraction of the price, you can have your very own Jamba copy-cat ready for the whole family in less than 5 minutes.

Stick with the classics, like this strawberry banana smoothie, or get fancy and add chia seeds, protein powder, collagen, or peanut butter.

Strawberry Banana Smoothie Ingredients

All you need are four fresh ingredients to make this delicious strawberry banana smoothie recipe.

• Strawberries
• Bananas
• Plain Greek yogurt
• Milk

These are the four ingredients I always add when I am craving something sweetand healthy.

To make your smoothie a bit more like you would get at your favorite smoothie place, you may want to,

• Swap the milk for orange or pineapple juice.
• Add frozen yogurt of frozen sherbert in place of the Greek yogurt.

The modifications above, while delicious, will increase the overall sugar content of your smoothie and therefore make it sweeter.

How to Make a Strawberry Banana Smoothie

Making this smoothie is as easy as adding your milk, yogurt, strawberries, and bananas to your blender and blending until smooth. If you are using only fresh fruit I recommend adding a handful of ice otherwise it’s not necessary.

If your smoothie is too thick and won’t blend, slowly add more liquid until it does, or use the tamper to help push everything down and move things along.

Strawberry Banana Smoothie Tips

1. Always add the liquid and/or “soft” ingredients to the blender first. Frozen fruit can be tricky to blend together. A good, high-powered, high-speed, blender with a tamper definitely helps, but it’s also helpful to add all your liquid and soft ingredients first. This includes milk, yogurt, or any fresh, non-frozen fruit.
2. Skip the added sugar. This is especially true if you add vanilla yogurt which is pretty high in added sugars. If you already know you prefer a sweeter smoothie, try adding half milk, half orange juice.
3. Frozen fruit is better than ice. Do you love super thick, super cold smoothies? Add frozen fruit (especially bananas) instead of ice. There is one exception- if you know you will be enjoying your smoothie right away, a little ice is OK and won’t risk watering down your smoothie.
4. If this is the first time you’ve ever made a smoothie, measure your ingredients. At least roughly. The last thing you need is a smoothie without enough liquid that it’s impossible to blend.
5. Make your smoothie dairy-free. It’s so easy to swap dairy milk and dairy yogurt for dairy-free alternatives like cashew, coconut, or almond.
